An ode to Euro legend Gabor Kiraly
Hungarian shot-stopper Gabor Kiraly captivated fans during his side's four Euro 2016 matches as the once-monolithic continental giant turned back the clock to finish top of Group F.
A melange of grace and power, few players in the tournament deserve a poetic tribute more than Kiraly, who will bid the contest adieu after his heroic lot were drubbed 4-0 by Belgium on Sunday.
In sweatpants as wet as a sodden French pitch,
You entertained the masses with efforts last ditch,
With a smile like an angel and a body like a dad,
You've unknowingly started the latest fashion fad,
Very little was expected of you and the rest,
Ten saves against Belgium was a tournament best,
Heroic performances atop sartorial lists
Gabor Kiraly, your presence will be missed
Here's a collection of photos of the 40-year-old Hungarian legend:
