Turkish Maradona

Fans rush to get Abdulkadir Aticis autograph

When German-Turk Abdulkadir Atici turned up at Wednesday night's Champions League tie between Bayern Munich and Napoli, fans flocked to get his autograph. Abi Atici is no celebrity or singer, however he has a single trait that attracts soccer fans; he looks like the Argentine legend Diego Armando Maradona.

He wears watches on both wrists and sunglasses indoors at night which are both classic Maradona traits and gets paid to do so. Our very own Turkish Maradona is actually a professional impersonator making his living attending parties, functions looking like the tubby Argentinean.
