Maradona after winning the 1986 FIFA World Cup with Argentina

}}Here it should be winning 1986 world Fifa world cup with West Germany

Current infobox image looks like a painting?

I read the talk logs for this article, apparently this image was agreed upon to be the lead image, now it's been replaced by a painting. Petition to return the infobox image back to this one? Yourlocallordandsavior (talk) 10:12, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I dislike the current lead image and would support changing it. Lankyant (talk) 22:53, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, additionally the current infobox image covers like half of his face. Why in the world was it changed? Both photos show him holding the trophy anyways. ObsidianRS (talk) 16:25, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree because the image is blocking most of his face because of the trophy Wcamp9 (talk) 03:58, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Main Image

Can we change Maradona’s image to one where he’s not covering the face with the trophy? Here’s an example where his face is clearer Wcamp9 (talk) 15:12, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Diego Maradona doesn't have a Franco in his name, does he?
