Remember the Spanish football Sandokan? At the time when football players used to be the toughest guys in the world, with tight shirts and pants underpants roll, it was easier to find players full of chaste, heart and no nonsense. In this age of currantes in football, where players could be your neighbors from the fifth, one of those who was going to triumph on the field and off it was going to be Juan José Jiménez Necklace. To fulfill the stereotype of macho and its more than reasonable resemblance to actor Kabir Bedi, who played the mythical fiction series Sandoka.

What was Juan Jose “Sandoka”?
Despite having played at Real Madrid, the selection and 13 seasons in the elite, He began work building ships up early as all my neighbors at five in the morning to earn a living. As he confessed in interviews, The money he earned as a footballer in thirteen seasons did not give him to live on when he left football and like many of his teammates of the time, ended up as' currante’.
