Genius is an over-used word in the world of sport, but every football fan would agree that the legendary Argentinian number 10, Diego Armando Maradona justifies the tag.
Maradona is arguably the greatest player ever to pull on a pair of football boots and Kraken Opus are delighted to have been able to forge a unique partnership with him to produce 10: The Maradona Opus, the defining publication tracking his extraordinary life and career.
With over 800 pages, each measuring half a metre square, and weighing over 30kg, the Maradona Opus is set to be the most extraordinary book ever produced on an individual sportsman. Maradona has granted unprecedented access during this five-year project. Including exclusive interviews and photo shoots with him, his family, close friends, former team-mates and managers, previously unseen photographs and items of memorabilia from the Maradona family's collection, and with each copy personally signed by the man himself, the Maradona Opus will be the ultimate publication on the controversial Argentinian icon.
