There's definitely a new candidate for the FIFA Fair Play award after Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano
announced he will marry a woman fifty years his junior.

Alfredo Di Stefano is often named as one of the best footballers in the history of the game, and by all accounts, he was a joy to watch both in his native Argentina and Spain.
However he's grabbed some more headlines today after it was announced that the 86-year-old honorary president of Real Madrid would be getting married to his 36-year-old personal secretary, Gina Gonzalez.
Di Stefano said to Spanish paper El Mundo Deportivo that he was in love with Gina, and the two just wanted to be together.
He's not the first Argentine to pull of something like this after famous author Jorge Luis Borges married a woman nearly forty years his junior when he was in his 80s too, so clearly Argentine men keep their swagger well in to old age.
