Argentina legend Diego Maradona has reignited his feud with Pele by claiming his recognition from Fifa is not worth sh*t. Maradona trumped his Brazilian counterpart to the Player of the Century award in 2000, collecting 53 per cent of the internet-based vote, while Peles achievements were also recognised after he topped a poll of Fifas Football Family at the same ceremony. However, the 52-year-old feels that his rivals award is paled into insignificance by his own. In 2000 I won the Player of the Century award thanks to the people. Pele was second, he told reporters. He also came second behind [Aryton] Senna as Brazils greatest sportsman. The award that Fifa gave Pele isnt worth sh*t. Meanwhile, the former Argentina boss has also launched a scathing attack on Fifas president Sepp Blatter and its senior delegates, questioning their competency level when they are so old that they cannot even drive a car. He added: The Fifa directors are all over 95 years old! -WJ
