Photo: Sergio Ramos Remembers His Friend
When Antonio Puerta collapsed on the pitch and died last year, there were all sorts of memorials from all over the footballing world and beyond. Not to take anything away from any of them, but yesterday’s tribute by Spain right back Sergio Ramos has to be one of the most generous. Ramos not only made sure to bring Puerta’s story back into the foreground, but in doing so, he also shared with his good friend the greatest moment of his football career. The words under Puerta’s face on the t-shirt read “Siempre Con Nosotros” (”Always with us”). Ramos also wore the Andalusian flag.

Got misty eyed when I saw that shirt on him last night. Puerta would have been in that squad as well. Pure class is right.




Bravo Sergio! Bravo Antonio! Beautiful.
