Puyol's tribute to Miki Roqué

[King Binny]

Carles Puyol has once again shown what a big heart he has through the design of his new boots, which feature the inscription 'MR26' in homage to his close friend Miki Roqué, who passed away in June last year.

Puyol has made another gesture which proves just what a great man he is. When he was being awarded the league trophy, the captain did not hesitate to call over Tito Vilanova and Abidal so that they could be the ones to lift a trophy which Barcelona celebrated in style.

Sorry for thread bumping. Thought since its a remembrance as well, wouldn't create a new thread but shall post under this one.

Yesterday saw Real Betis mark the first anniversary of Miki Roque’s death with the unveiling of a memorial at the Benito Villamarin stadium.

Betis defender Roque passed away on June 24, 2012 after losing his battle with pelvic cancer and yesterday saw Los Beticos mark his absence at their ground.

At a presentation attended by many fans, club President Miguel Guillen unveiled a tall memorial adorned with green and white images of Roque through his career and ‘Miki 26 Roque’ written in large letters in the middle.

It stands outside the Gol Norte stand of the Benito Villamarin stadium.

“Real Betis was to continue his memory in this corner of the Gol Norte at the Estadio Benito Villamarin. His stadium,” Guillen declared.

“We wanted to symbolise the memory of Miki at the base of the flagpole of Real Betis.

“Every Sunday when the flag is raised, it shall be supported by the memorial dedicated to our No 26.

“So we must always remember our player.”
