He's 57, and he's still got it. Football legend Diego Maradona, who celebrated his birthday on Monday, showed off some serious skills with former Arsenal star Robin van Persie recently. Have you seen the video?
They say form is fleeting and class is permanent. Well, that certainly seems to be true in Maradona's case as he appeared to roll back the years when he displayed some fancy footwork with Fenerbahce striker Van Persie, a video of which the Dutchman posted on Instagram in honour of the Albiceleste hero's birthday.

Although the Argentine may have somewhat of a chequered past, and he definitely doesn't physically resemble the sensation he once was, he showed that his skills have not abandoned him– and Van Persie wasn't bad either!
The Dutchman, although dressed more like he was going on a dinner date than anything else, held his own next to the legend, proving there is more to his game than just blasting the ball into the back of the net.
Are you impressed by Maradona's skill at the age of 57?
