Penniless child rubbish collectors in Calcutta blew their entire life savings to create a giant cake for visiting football legend Maradona - only for him to not touch a crumb.
The Indian youngsters spent more than 200 GBP on the four foot high cake in the striker's national Argentinean blue and white colours to celebrate his 49th birthday.
But the star - on a charity visit to India - refused to try even a mouthful of the treat, claiming to be on a strict diet to regain his playing physique.
Fan Kamal Akash, 12: "It was fantastic to see our hero in the flesh. We would have liked him to have had some cake but he did see it and liked it."
