The day before yesterday, Tuesday, the news of the death of Iñaki Alkiza, who is a player and president of Real and aita de Bittor, currently the second of Arrasate in Osasuna with a past as a footballer both in the txuri urdin club and in Athletic itself. Alkiza Aita was the top manager of the San Sebastian club between 1983 and 1992 and, among other things, as our Donosti colleagues recalled, signed Toshack and Aldridge, Real’s first foreigner, took the lead with the move to Anoeta and the conversion to SAD and raised the Cup by 87.
