Since his brilliant appearance in Argentinos Juniors, that October 20, 1976, the figure of Diego Maradona quickly aroused idolatry and admiration.
And from that very moment, many fans decided to "plagiarize" the star's full name to baptize their children.
Exactly 12,370 men have Diego Armando on their ID followed by their respective surnames, according to a report released by the National Registry of Persons (RENAPER) once the death of Ten is known.
The record was 1,081, which had 1,326.
Of course, it coincided with Maradona's first local title, with the Boca shirt, the club of his loves.
The second year with the most registrations of newborns with the name Diego Armando was 1986, with 1,174 registrations, the year in which the Argentine soccer team won the second World Championship in its history at the hands of Maradona at the Azteca stadium in Ciudad de Mexico, where on June 29 they defeated Germany 3-2 in the final.
Baptizing a son with his name is a way of perpetuating his love for the enormous player that was Diego Armando Maradona.
In the morning, a 26-year-old young man came to the Plaza de Mayo on his knees, approached by the media, and said that in 1996 his father called him Diego Armando, who was a native of Zárate and that "before God, always on his knees thanking him for what That gave us".
Through tears he said that he will be
"grateful for life"
for having been baptized as his idol.
