Famous football fan
Spain mourns the loss of Manolo with the timpani
Manolo with the timpani accompanied the Spanish national team for more than 40 years, but now the famous football fan has died. The team mourns his relatives.
The famous Spanish football fan, Manolo El del Bombo, died in a hospital after a serious illness at the age of 76. “One of our most loyal supporters has died, who always accompanied us through thick and thin. Quiet in peace, Manolo,” wrote the national team on X. The association also confirms death.
The Spaniard with the timpani in front of the body always appeared in the red jersey with number 12. He felt like a twelfth man of the national team. He has accompanied the Spanish national team with ten world and eight European championships for more than 40 years.
With his oversized basket cap and the timpani, Manolo also had something quirky and quarreled. Some dismissed the tireless battle bumper as a spinner. But in reality, Manuel Cáceres, as it was called with a bourgeois name, was ahead of his time. Because the fans have now become part of the football spectacle.
Manolo with the timpani not only famous in Spain
Manolo, who with the timpani, had previously recognized it as others. He became a media star. A British newspaper once described him as the most famous fan in the world. Companies discovered it as an advertising icon. A Polish beer brand even let him turn a commercial in South Africa.
