early February, has died in Spain, forgotten by everyone, Alejandro Finisterre (1909-2007). This name will not tell you much, I do not know the existence of the rest and I have become aware of its history using the Internet. He was an opponent of the Franco regime and, therefore, was forced to live away from his country wandering through the world and arranged in some way. The secret police in Guatemala identified and put on a plane with destinzione Madrid. But he, rot in a jail of Franco, did not want to just know. So he went in the toilet of the plane, he found a bar of soap, made a gun and forced the pilot to land in Panama. Alejandro Finisterre was a poet, philosopher, carpenter, painter and tap dancer, but more importantly, and this is why I tell you his story, he was the inventor of the futbolin namely football. He built this game for the children who had lost the use of his legs during the English war. Yeah, playing foosball. Once I found them everywhere, in bars, in the speakers, the bathing establishments. Now, at least in large cities, have virtually disappeared, victims of the Playstation and other video games that lobotomized brain.
Thanks Alejandro, also from me that in football, have never been good.
