Which we met in football 80 and really began to enjoy it in 90 I remember perfectly. Rafa Paz It was one of those historical footballers Sevilla FC which came to be called by Spain in the World Cup in Italy 1990.
Like so many other players of those wonderful years, Rafa Paz tenía ese aspecto de ‘señor mayor’ que contrasta totalmente con los futbolistas de la actualidad. Despite his youth, natural midfielder Granada, suffered a major alopecia. Precisely in an interview with the newspaper ABC de Sevilla, the protagonist of this article told several anecdotes. One was his frustrating hair transplant.
Coinciding with the arrival of Carlos Bilardo the Seville club, Rafa Paz She went to a clinic to undergo the transplant. By his own account, I still had pain in the head so that the first spring training avoided hitting the ball with the head. Obviously, This fact was not lost on the Argentine coach.
Esto es lo último que me quedaba por ver en el fútbol”
When Billiards he asked Rafa Paz why he not is nodding the ball and knew the answer, I could not believe it: “Esto es lo último que me quedaba por ver en el fútbol”. To laughter joke logical and the rest of the squad.
precisely Billiards He counted more things that might become team captain for many seasons: “Un día íbamos ganando por 0-1 and it lacked very little time to finish the match in Zaragoza. We had a free kick in favor and instead of letting time run unchecked saw Mark and I got quickly. Perdimos la pelota y nos empataron”.
The matter did not end there since four days later the phone rang at the home of Rafael Paz: “Eran las cuatro de la madrugada. I panic. Bilardo was told me: “¿Rafa, as you could well get that missing?” El fútbol era su vida y siempre lo tenía en la cabeza. It was a phenomenon, cuidaba todos los detalles”.
A CLASSIC OF SEVILLA FC

But nevertheless, before hanging up his boots, he decided to try a new experience in his career. Coinciding with the decline Sevilla Second Division in season 1996-1997, Grenadian signed a contract with Atletico Celaya Mexico. There he met with other Spanish players like Emilio Butragueno Y Rafael Martin Vazquez. After the campaign 1997-1998 He decided to hang up his boots. Definitely, uno de esos ‘clásicos’ de nuestra infancia.
