In November, when the team was struggling, he distributed flyers in Sassari with the message: "Everyone to the stadium to support Torres. Torres is an invaluable asset to our city." What's strange about that? It wasn't a kid who did it, but a 96-year-old fan. Guido Garrucciu , not surprisingly, was named honorary president of the rossoblù club five years ago.

"Uncle Guido," as everyone calls him, is not only a gentleman from another era, but also the historical memory of Torres . He preserves photos, articles, and other memorabilia that testify to the century-long adventure of the club founded in 1903 in Sassari.

He wrote poems for Torres, and delivered words at various presentations filled with genuine passion and always accurate. He almost never misses the stadium. Torres even wanted him as a spokesperson during the Christmas holidays, to wish their fans a happy holiday.

Last year, the club gave him the number 95 jersey: now it needs to be updated. Perhaps it will be done on Sunday before the match against Juventus Next Gen , sparking the usual heartfelt applause from all sections of the stadium.
