I believe the answer is:

diego

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'maradona?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for diego that I've seen before include "-- Garcia, Indian Ocean island" , "Spaniard potentially" , "Possibly Maradona" , "Maradona, Argentine footballer" , "Spanish name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Sun.
