Personal Facts: Diego
Forlan is a founding member of a foundation headed by his sister dealing with
dangerous driving. Back in 1991, his sister suffered a car accident where she
lost her boyfriend and became paralyzed as a result. Diego Maradona met
Forlán's father during that time, since he was a football player in the 1970s,
and helped him raise funds for his daughter’s treatment. She became an integral
part of his inspiration to play football.
