The football fields are full of great stories and great people.
An example of a great man and not because of his stature, but because of his great heart is Antonio Blanco, a partner of Real Murcia for 50 years.
He has seen his team fall and re-raise since time immemorial.
He has enjoyed much when Real Murcia has been in the first division, but not only has it been here when he has encouraged, he has also done it when the old Condomina was occupied by a couple of hundred people.
Antonio, today with the number 47 of club member, has transmitted his love for his team to his wife, son and grandson Joaquin (Quino), all partners and the latter since he was only three months old and 21 years old. has today, has traveled along with his grandparents throughout Spain cheering his Real.
It was the year 1982, when Antonio went to the club offices to buy shares, one for each of his five children.
About 50,000 pesetas of the time, today about 300 euros.
At that time, the team was in low hours and so anecdotal was the purchase of Antonio, who was interviewed by a newspaper in the Region.
There are many battles that he could have, such as the promotion to first in the old field in 2002.
He also traveled with Loli, his wife, his partner in all and his grandson Joaquin in northern Spain on a bus, along with hundreds of other team members to see him ascend.
I just needed a point and the draw against La Ponferradina, made it possible that it was.
In 2014, Antonio also traveled to Madrid, once again accompanied by his teammates, but in this case the team resigned to second B, according to league president Javier Tebas, the administrative ratios were not met.
But there he was fighting for what he wanted and believed.
Thanks to him, his wife, son, grandson and thanks also to thousands of partners and fans for feeling this way.
This club should feel proud to have fans of this category.
They celebrate the goals with such passion that they make them theirs, shouting from the stands until they are aphonic.
But they also suffer a lot when they see that the different political parties in this Region do not care if a team with more than a hundred years of history disappears, demonstrating the emotional illiteracy they have and the little attachment and deep-rooted feeling towards the customs of Murcia.
Amateurs like Antonio give a master class to all of these, to whom we vote and offer our confidence, for later, once they grab the chair, give a slap without hands to thousands of partners.
Partners that have come together to take the club out of the economic hole it is in.
Members who, like Antonio, are first division.
This is a small tribute to Antonio, for always being there, for having known how to support and encourage a football team that is part of our culture.
Tradition that he has been able to transmit to his people.
