Tenerife mourns Alberto Molina, club record holder, at 83
The centre-back, with 413 appearances for the club, died on Monday. Players will wear black armbands against Badajoz on Wednesday.
Tenerife are in mourning. Alberto Molina died on Monday, 26 October, at the age of 83. According to Mundo Deportivo, the centre-back born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 1943 has made more appearances for the club than anyone else: 413 matches between 1963/64 and 1975/76, captaining the side for eight seasons.
In 1976 he received the Oro y Brillantes insignia, and in 2021 he was named a Leyenda Blanquiazul. Since April this year, gate 5 of the Heliodoro Rodríguez López has carried his name. An injury kept him out of action for a season and a half, robbing him of the chance to get close to 500 games.
The players will wear black armbands in the Copa del Rey tie against Badajoz on Wednesday, and there will be a minute's silence before the league match against FC Andorra next Sunday at the Rodríguez López.
