“Fly high, little one. Let it be,” Iciar García, the widow of soccer player Pelayo Novo, wrote on his Instagram account, along with a couple of photos from their wedding day.
The footballer, from teams such as Albacete, Oviedo, Córdoba, Lugo, Cluj or Elche, died, at the age of 32, this Monday after being hit by a train at La Corredoria station by a train that covers the Oviedo route -Siero.
Novo had returned to sport right in the Asturian capital after a fall that made him change soccer for chair tennis and where he was also linked to the Oviedista club Foundation.
He was part of the board of directors of the Asturian Tennis Federation and had returned to competition thanks to chair tennis after recovering from a fall that, while still an Albacete footballer, forced him to go through the Hospital for Paraplegics in Toledo.
In the match that Albacete will play this Sunday at the Carlos Belmonte against Sporting, a minute of silence will be observed in memory of Pelayo Novo and his players will wear a black crepe as a sign of mourning, according to the club, reports Efe.
The world of football continues to cry and remember in equal parts the former footballer Pelayo Novo, whose family has received the hug of numerous teammates, friends and football personalities in recent hours.
