"There is a player even better than Pele and I. He is Jorge Gonzalez. El Magico." - Diego Maradona
Mavericks, a brand new Streets Won't Forget Podcast mini-series, begins with Jorge 'Magico' Gonzalez, the footballer who Diego Maradona said was better than both him and Pele.
Gonzalez seems to have been long-forgotten by the footballing world, but in Cadiz and his home country of El Salvador, he holds mythic statues. For those that saw him play, he is simply unforgettable.
From partying, forgetting months of his life, helping the homeless, fire alarm pranks and turning down Europe’s biggest clubs, El Magico could have been the greatest there ever was, but simply didn't want to be.
