NAPLES, Italy (Reuters) - Argentina's World Cup-winner Diego Maradona returned to Naples this week to regale audiences with memories of his heroics in helping Napoli win the 1987 Italian league title and took a pot-shot at fellow football great Pele.

The 56-year-old Maradona hosted his two-hour show "3 Volte Dieci" or "Three times ten" at the venerated Teatro di San Carlo opera house on Monday to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Napoli's first Serie A championship.
