The well -known selection follower, 76, was admitted to the hospital with respiratory problems
Manolo ‘El del Bombo’, the most popular fan of the Spanish football team, has died this Thursday at 76 years of age in the town of Vila-Real. He had been admitted to the hospital for several days for respiratory problems, according to the newspaper Brand.
The last public appearance of Manolo ‘the Bombo’ was at the Stadium of Mestalla, in the match that the Spanish team played against the Netherlands, at the end of March this year.
The most iconic fan of the national team, a regular also in the football afternoons of Mestalla, began to follow the Red during the 1982 World Cup, which was held in Spain.
