The man who punched his country past England in the 1986 World Cup has posed with his girlfriend after reportedly going under the knife.

Diego, 54, posed for a picture alongside his on-off girlfriend Rocio Oliva, 24, after reportedly going under the knife to get rid of bags under his eyes and complete laser treatment to soften his skin.

Argentine papers claim he agreed to the makeover so he could look younger for Rocio, who he is now back with after getting her arrested last summer over claims she stole hundreds of pounds worth of jewellery and watches from his mansion in Dubai.

The pictures emerged as the pair enjoyed a break together in Cuba where Maradona, who has battled drink, drug and weight problems, is filming a new sports programme.

Rocio agreed to a reunion with Diego late last year despite the theft claims and a nasty incident in which her on-off boyfriend appeared to assault her in a a video leaked to an Argentine TV station.
