Paco Gento to be named Real Madrid's new Honorary President
Club delegates acknowledge the Cantabrian ex-player - the only person to have won six European Cups, who turns 83 today.
Update:
What a week it is turning out to be for Paco Gento. The former Real Madrid player celebrates his 83rd birthday in fine health and during Sunday's Representative Members Assembly, he will named Real Madrid's new Honrary President - a role which has been vacant since Alfredo Di Stéfano passed away in July 2014.
Great tribute
It's an acknowledgement which is fully deserved - Gento has a record and honours list which would be extremely difficult for any player to reach; he is the the only person in possession of six European Cup winners' medals. Gento, always humble and cheerful, told AS last year: "I give thanks to madridismo. If the club members want me to be Honorary President, I'd be delighted”.
Three previous tributes: in 1965, 1972 and 2007
