Jag surfar runt och när jag surfar runt så kommer jag ibland in på saker som gör mig väldigt deep, som detta:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Puerta#Tributes
Antonio Puerta var 22 år när han dog av hjärtfel, bara några dagar innan hans son föddes. Nedan kan läsas hur mycket klubben hyllade sin spelare, även flera år efter hans död.
Sånt här får mig att tänka efter på vad jag har/inte har och att jag aldrig har någon vetskap om vad eller vem som kan ryckas ifrån mig.
As a result of Puerta's death, Sevilla's UEFA Champions League qualifier against AEK Athens was postponed until the fourth of September[10] – Sevilla eventually won 4–1. The club also announced that a one-minute silence would be held before every league match on the weekend of September 1–2, 2007. Also, every 16th minute the crowd at the Sánchez Pizjuan would increase the volume for a whole minute as an informal tribute (Puerta wore the number 16 shirt)[citation needed].
Additionally, Sevilla's European Super Cup game with A.C. Milan on 31 August went ahead, as a tribute to the player, with all 22 participants having the name 'PUERTA' printed on the back of their jersey. The players and officials on both sides also wore black armbands.[11]
Sevilla subsequently retired Puerta's number 16 shirt, with the provision that should his son, Aitor Antonio (born 22 October 2007),[12] one day play for the club, he will have the option to bring the number out of retirement.[13] However, Spanish football teams were not allowed to do so, as the Royal Spanish Football Federation stated that clubs should use number 1 to 25 for their regular squad, with no additional room for manoeuvre. As a result, central defender David Prieto wore the shirt in 2007–08, in honour of his friend.
Former Sevilla and Spain teammate Sergio Ramos wore a white t-shirt with Puerta's picture on the front and the number 16 on the back, during celebrations of the national side's UEFA Euro 2008 victory. Under the picture it read "Siempre con nosotros" ("Always with us"). Ramos also wore a shirt with Real Madrid that showed his brotherhood with Puerta during a game against Villarreal CF when Ruud van Nistelrooy scored in a 5–0 away routing.
In April 2010, Sevilla built a sculpture in the José Ramón Cisneros Palacios sports centre in homage to Puerta. The statue was unveiled exactly four years after he scored against Schalke 04 to take the club into the UEFA Cup final in 2006.[14] On July 11, as Spain lifted the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, while celebrating after collecting their winners medals, Ramos and another former Sevilla teammate, Navas, wore T-shirts in his honour.
