Hi Ignacio,
Many thanks for your comment. Our sports heroes are always special to us and it is sad when their life after sport is not so successful. Unfortunately there are other examples like yours in Australia as well. Nowadays, current professional sports people also focus on life after their sports careers are over. That is a good thing.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi.
Recently Spaniards have suffered the lost of one of our sport legends: Ángel Nieto, 12+1 (as he liked to say as he was very superstitious) World Champion in the 60s, 70s and 80s).
I´ve heard about his beginnings as a pilot, living in Barcelona, in a basement, in a very humble way.
Sadly, he died last month, driving a quad without helmet.

Thank you for your approach to an unknown sport for Spaniards as cricket.
