He was 17, and it was the first of 4 world cups he had with Brazil. He was born in 1940, which means in 1951 he was 11, in 1955 he was 14. You're comments about him being limited to the 50s are wrong, he was only a kid then.

Actually FIFA conducted two polls, an internet poll and a magazine poll. The internet poll produced suspicous results (whatever you may think the vast majority of the world does not think it was Maradona). In the internet poll, Maradona recieved 56 percent of the votes, Pele just 18 percent.

The Argentinian Football Federation was accused of launching a concerted campaign to swing the vote Maradona's way. The results of FIFA's magazine poll were completely the opposite - Pele got 72 percent, second was Di Stefano with 9 percent and third was Maradona with just 6 percent.

FIFA decided to give 2 Player of the Century Awards.
