For mý, is a symbol and also a motivation when I have to face my day in day out. Of the historical, always have said that seat to have not seen play to Gárate. My big idol is Futre. I grew in the Calderón seeing play to Futre, contemplating his galloped by the left band... And also his 'piscinazos', those that all demanded like penaltis.
