An Argentinian fan has launched an internet campaign for Maradona to "play at least five minutes of any game" during next summer's World Cup finals in Germany. So far, 7,800 people have signed up on the eldiezal2006.com.ar website to support the proposal, according to its creator, 37 year old Raul Champredonde.

"There is no doubt that Diego was the best player in the history of the game, but as a result of the things that have happened to him and his recovery, we love him for much more than that."

The campaign has had support from all over Argentina as well as thirty other countries including, "Spain, Italy and Brazil, but also from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Cuba," explained Mr Champredonde.

Before finally hanging up his boots in 1997, the former Argentinian captain won the World Cup twice -as an Under 20 in 1979, and in Mexico in 1986, and also took part in the Italy (1990) and USA finals in 1994.

Maradona recently rejected an offer made by the president of the Argentinian Football Association (AFA), Julio Grondona, to join the national side's coaching team and has had success recently as a TV presenter on his own show, "The Night of the 10" (La Noche del 10), which is on the Canal 13 channel.
