For a lot of fans, football is religion.  To Hernan and Alejandro Veron, Argentine player Diego Maradona is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  As founders of the Church of Maradona, Alejandro and Hernan have reinvented the idea of a fan club, creating instead a full-fledged religion around their idol.  This video pays a visit to their place of worship in the city of Rosario to see how Alejandro and Hernan pay homage to the player responsible for the greatest goal in the history of the sport.
