“I will never forget that day when, playing with Turón, Sionín, who was the coach, called me and said: ‘Redo, would you like to sign for Sporting?'” José Antonio Redondo (Turón, 1953) then began a stage that would lead him to be part of the best Sporting team in history. The one who was one of the best right backs that El Molinón saw will receive a tribute this afternoon before the match against Granada, as part of the events organized by the club on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of its founding. “This detail is appreciated.
