A tribute for JUAN FUNES at Olympiakos

Juan Gilberto Funes (March 8, 1963-January 11, 1992), nicknamed "El Búfalo" (The Buffalo) was an Argentinian football player. He was born in the province of San Luis, Argentina. Known for his physical type of play, he was the terror of any defensive player he ever faced. He was a vital part of the 1986 River Plate team that won the Copa Libertadores (and the Intercontinental Cup in Tokio against Steaua Bucarest also) for the first time, in which he score a goal in the first match in Colombia, which River won by the score of 2-1 and at home in Buenos Aires, for the 1-0 victory against America de Cali. Ironically, this wasn't the first time Colombian teams and fans saw his moves: in the glory days of the Colombian league in the 1980s, Funes played for Millonarios -the team with the most championships in Colombia-, where he simply "schooled" other forwards with his opportunistic technique and his attitude. He also won Copa Interamericana of 1986, in which he score a goal in the second final match in Buenos Aires(first match 0-0 in Costa Rica) ,for the 3-0 victory against LD Alajuelense. After Argentina,in 1988 he moved to Greece and played for Olympiacos ,the team with the most championships in Greece. With the Piraeus club Funes scored some very important goals and became very famous between fans. After Olympiacos, he went to France and played for AS Nancy and Nantes, but because of health problem he stopped his career in Europe. He returned to his homeland for second time and joined Velez Sarsfield. However, his health forced him to retire shortly afterwards. He died of a heart attack on January 12, 1992 He is considered today one of the great legends of the Millonarios of Bogotá where is one of their greatest idols and the River Plate fans remember his goals in the Copa Libertadores Final. During his career, Funes was capped 4 times by the Argentina National Team,and played at the Copa America of 1987.
