Last year when Maradona had come to Kolkata, Ganguly wanted to play a football match with the legend. However, he missed the chance after the former footballer left the event early.
"It would have been great to have played with him but he could not play," Ganguly had said. "Age has caught up with him but he's too good a player. I'm a huge, huge fan of his, I have seen him win the World Cup in 1986. It was a treat to see him from close quarters," he added.
