Ulysses Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 It's already been mentioned on the board, but it deserves its own thread. Apparently he's in critical condition and in an induced coma. He was 88 yesterday. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/28180146 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11835/9372898/real-madrid-great-alfredo-di-stefano-has-been-hospitalised-after-a-heart-attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Moysey Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I know this will seem strange but when Hearts played Atletico Madrid a few of us went to see the Bernebau on the morning of the match. One of our party spoke Spanish and Di-Stefano actually appeared and asked who we were/what we were doing there. He then proceeded to get us shown round their trophy room. Just staggering amount of silverware and a great experience. A true football legend R.I.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FORTHCLYDE Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 When I was a lad he and Puskas were talked about in the same way as Maradona and Messi are today. Some said he was better than Pele. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
