Great legend, goalscorer and fighter has left us

This Tuesday night one of the best European strikers in his time unfortunately passed away. Enrique Castro, better known as Quini has died from heart attack at the age of 68. Played an whole career in Spain, from 1974 to 1982 has won the Pichici trophy for the best goalscorer in LaLiga 5 times, and due to his fantastic skills also was known as: 'The Wizard', 'Quinocho' or 'Quinigol'.
Just one season after signing for Barcelona, in 1981 Quini was kidnapped on the day when he scored two goals. That afternoon the Asturian was headed to the airport to pick up his wife and kids when was attacked from two gunmen who held him hostage for 25 days. Later the assailants were found, and the player who was unharmed finished top scorer in the championship that season.

Many supporters and football stars paid tribute yesterday at El Molinon stadium (now called after the great striker) in his native city of Gijon. Another icon and his teammate at the time in Barcelona Diego Armando Maradona through social media wrote 'the kind of scorer that no longer exists'.
