Gràcies Capità! You have been an epic for all Barca fans. There will be no other like you. I was the kid who took pickup games way too seriously, shouting constantly. I was the least-skilled player, defending better players with sheer force of will. I was the kid who threw himself recklessly into every challenge and block, battering my body until one day, it wouldn’t bounce back. Puyol is my inspiration–invulnerable, his indomitable spirit dragging his body back from injury time and time again. To see him succumb to age has broken my heart, but only cemented his enduring legacy: the image of a grizzled veteran with a bloody bandage, down 2-0 to Milan but still fighting, knowing the remuntada will come. - Eric Coffin-Gould @coffingould
