BUENOS AIRES (AFP): Tributes to late football legend Diego Maradona have included plans to rename a stadium and a street in his honour and put his face on a banknote. Now, a giant mural has been painted in Argentina to remember the icon, who died last month.

Street artist Alfredo Segatori, 50, has painted a huge mural 20m high (65ft) and 40m wide in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires to honour the country's favourite son.
