Thank fuck. Nice one for the odd goal here and there but thank god this dinosaur of a player has gone. 

Slow, lethargic, headless and arrogant.

Spanish Football

The Alonso family have entered a rare club where grandfather, father and son have all been picked for their national team, following Julen Lopetegui's decision to call up Marcos Alonso this week for Spain.

On March 17th, 1955, Marcos Alonso Imaz made his debut for La Roja who lost 2-1 against France that day and now his grandson has been included in the squad to face Germany and Argentina later this month.

In between, Marcos Alonso Pena, the father of the Chelsea full-back played his first of 22 games for Spain in 1981 when they won at Wembley .

Despite performing at a high level with Fiorentina and Chelsea, it was beginning to look as though the latest player from the Alonso family would not make it to international level but finally he got the call from Lopetegui.

He kept battling but with little expectation and even planned to travel to Dubai during the international break before hearing the news that he was included.

Similar cases are few and far between in world football.

The Slovac, Vladimir Weiss, who played for Espanyol, turned out for the national team as did his father and grandfather. In Northern Ireland, three generations of the Feeney family have played for their country as is the case with the Emam's of Egypt, the Salvinu's of Malta, the Forlan's of Uruguay and Javier Hernandez's family in Mexico.

 

Marcos Alonso Imaz (16 April 1933 – 6 March 2012), nicknamed Marquitos, was a Spanish footballer who played as a defender. He was best known for his participation in Real Madrid's five European Cup conquests, mainly in the 1950s.
