When I remember his retreat, something moves in my self. He was just a shy boy like me, but managed to put his foot in the hearts of millions of people with every goal. He never received a red card, he never insulted a referee. Emilio was a gentleman who never won the champions league, but his exploits and human quality, as well as the 4 goals he put to Dinamarca celebrating with respect, will live forever in my heart as the best Spanish football player of all time.
