If there are two icons who symbolize Argentinas twin passions, they would be Diego Maradona and Ernesto Che Guevara. Maradona is still hailed by this football-mad country as the greatest player of all time, while Guevara – the Argentine doctor who helped Fidel Castro to power in Cuba, before heading off to all corners of the Earth to export the revolution – remains a global symbol of revolutionary passion.
