ResponderEliminarDi Stefano was born on July 4, 1926 and died on Monday, July 7, 2014 at the Gregorio Marañón Hospital in Madrid.
ResponderEliminarThis person has been part of Real Madrid both in the field and in the board of the club, this player gave several titles and triumphs to Madrid since he was a great scorer.
He suffered a heart attack and FIFA members forced him to quit this sport but he refused and continued playing.
It has undoubtedly been one of the best in history since it has always been among the 30 best in the world at the time with Zidane, Ronaldo, Luis Enrique, etc.
Di Stefano is my favorite football player!
ResponderEliminarThis photo of Alfredo Di Stefano is the best. He is not young but he plays with the ball very well. He is serious because he is thinking in his favourite sport:football.
He is from Buenos Aires, so he is Argentinian. Alfredo is old but he is athletic and strong. His hair is white.
He is hard-working and easy-going, but he is not funny. He is not living since 2014.
Rest In Peace.
