Just weeks after the horrible crash involving Charlie Davies tragedy has struck the footballing world again. Former Argentine international and Valencia (amongst others) defender Fernando "el negro" Caceres was shot in the head during an attempted carjacking in Buenos Aires. He is currently in the hospital and doctors had some discouraging words about his chances, although that link has some very emotional pictures of support from fans and players.
When I first read the news it was in a Spanish paper and I thought the name sounded familiar. It took a few moments but as I read on and learned he was currently coaching in the Independiente youth system I realized who it was. I remember Caceres from the team that played the World Cup in the US back in 1994, and also as one of the few (but not that few when you really think about it) to play on both sides of the Superclasico Argentino during his career. This is so sad, Pitch Itchy wishes him well.
