Maradona does it his way in bizarre boxing session

We all know Diego Maradona's weight tends to fluctuate more than the stock market. He's always looking for ways to trim down, but this is perhaps one of the more novel methods we've seen him try.

The 54-year-old former Argentina No.10, a legend of football wherever you come from, is seen smashing the proverbial out of a blue dummy at his gym, all to the calming soundtrack of a latino version of My Way.

Err, OK then.

Diego has, of course, always done things his way, from borrowing God's own hand to get his side past England at the 1986 FIFA World Cup to indulging his penchant for "candy", even when he was a player.

He won a few things in football, too, of course, including that 1986 World Cup, plenty with Barcelona in 1983 and a stack of silverware with Napoli after that. His standing as one of the greatest players of all time has never been in doubt, regardless of various crimes and misdemeanours.

One thing we can't work out, though, is what has he got against Blue Man Group? And then that reminded us of this moment from Arrested Development.
Maradona recently made the cut in our "mad as a cut snake" football team. .
