It's been eight years since madridismo said goodbye to Alfredo Di Stéfano, the greatest player of all time who changed Real Madrid history. On 7 July 2014, The Blond Arrow passed away at 88 years of age at the Gregorio Marañón General University Hospital in Madrid, where he was taken two days before following a heart-attack.

During his time as a madridista, from 1953 to 1964, Alfredo Di Stéfano became a legendary figure in world football. He led one of the greatest teams in the history of the game to five consecutive European Cup victories, one Intercontinental Cup, two Copas Latinas, eight LaLiga crowns, one Copa de Espana, and a Small Club World Cup. Di Stéfano appeared in 396 games for Real Madrid and scored 308 goals.

The greatest player of all time was born in Buenos Aires on 4 July 1926 and went on to claim a host of individual awards. He got his hands on two Ballons d'Or and the Super Ballon d'Or, a prize dedicated to his incredible career by France Football in 1989, making him the only player ever to boast this recognition. He was also named Pichichi 5 times.
