This day in 2004, we signed Jose Antonio Reyes. And Alvaro came to visit.
Christ. I remember that day. I celebrated by swinging by blazer around my head wildly.
Didn't have a f**king clue who he was.
I'd never heard of him either, but it was all terribly exciting.
Especially when Alvaro arrived to tell us how great he was.
Then he did this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gocpJ9Sfcbg
Who could have known then that Spain would go on to enjoy a golden age of football.
And that our new Spanish superstar number 9 wouldn't even get a look in :-|
I still miss Jose
He couldve been a contender
And alvaro, just a bit less.
He was an absolutely cracking player; if Henry's ego had been a little more in check he might
well have been even better.
Alvaro is honestly one of the best human beings I have ever met. He is just... good. You know. Just Good.
A truly residing memory for me.
Why did he have to be a bloody gypo :cry:
I was on holiday in Seville a couple of years later when the papers were full of him pleading to
come home.
The daft gyppo *******.
He's still only 32 and playing for Sevilla :-(
Spaniards, see, and specifically Andalusians. Salt of the earth imo
He would reject such nonsense out of hand, for, as I say, he is a Good person.
He is a human being and a citizen of the world, and not obsessed with the hatred intrinsic to your racism.
