On this day, Sunday February 17, 2008, Alfredo Di Stefano was honoured at Real Madrid's Bernabeau with UEFA's President's Award. At the age of 81. While he was still alive.
Here is a description of one of the most beautiful players of all time:
"Those who were privileged enough to see him play say that Di Stefano could be seen covering in defence, charging forward through the midfield, laying on goals for the forwards and smashing shots into the net all in the same game."
Said Di Stefano of the honour:
"I am deeply moved and I laugh to avoid crying with joy...The UEFA award is very special for me because I have received it from [UEFA president] Michel Platini, who has been able to be equally successful behind a desk as he was on the pitch."
