July - and after the death of Eusebio at the start of the year, we bade farewell to another footballing giant.
Alfredo di Stefano died on the 7th - two days after suffering a heart attack.

Revered at the Bernabeu, the two-time former European Player of the Year scored a remarkable 216 goals in 284 appearances for Real Madrid.
Di Stefano played international football for both Argentina, his country of birth, and Spain.
The Real faithful will be hoping that this man can at least attempt to emulate di Stefano's feats for the club - though one individual was rather too excited by the arrival of Colombian striker James Rodriguez.
