PAOLO MALDINI. A SFS TRIBUTE TO A TRUE CHAMPION

Although there are no Spanish sides participating in tonights
European Cup Final 2007 in Athens, there is a player who will
participate, that goes beyond regional boundaries & into the Universal
Football sphere: PAOLO MALDINI
Tonight he has the chance to write his name further into AC MILAN,
ITALIAN, EUROPEAN & WORLD Football history. If Ac Milan
wins Liverpool tonight, Paolo Maldini will lift his 5th European
Cup.

SFS would like to give a brief tribute to this outstanding football
Champion & example for all to follow. He is a rare footballer
who puts his loyalty, love & club ahead of glory & economic goals.
An extraordinary professional who has remained with one club -
AC MILAN - & has looked after himself so well that with 39 years
of age he is still playing in "the elite". Elegant, skillfull, a true leader
& all class, a rare "criature" in todays modern style football.
