April 2 is not just any day for Real Madrid fans, nor for the faithful fans of the club. МА, fromnot even for the Fuengiroles. That day is marked in mournful and respectful black to save the memory of Juan Gأ³mez, ‘Juanito’which just 30 years ago (it will be next Saturday) left us forever in a dramatic traffic accident that occurred on the highway in Estremadura. I had just seen his Madrid in it Bernabéuin party of the UEFA Cup before him Torinoand returned to his faithful Lolina (Mأ©rida’s physical trainer) given that the next day he had training with the Extreme team, which he successfully directed from the bench.
He was the co-pilot and was asleep, which is somewhat comforting to know that the log that was embedded in the car took his life without him suffering or even realizing it. Juan left a legacy so great that no one forgets him. Every 7 minutes his name continues to be chanted at the Bernabأ©u. And in his homeland, Fuengirolathey are going to dedicate a lot of time and effort to him this weekend to remember him as he deserves on the 30th. anniversary of his death in that fateful accident.
