Iker Garay’s story
Iker Garay’s story
Iker’s story is dedicated to all the members who asked for someone else to take the ceremonial kick-off
There were dozens of stories from members who thought that the ceremonial kick-off would be the perfect opportunity to show gratitude, recognition, admiration or affection towards another person or group of people.
Many of the stories started in a similar way: “I don’t deserve to take the ceremonial kick-off, but I wish with all my heart that…” Grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, friends… an endless network of relationships with a common bond: Athletic Club.
It was very difficult to pick just one of these stories. And to get it right was almost impossible.
Iker Garay is a doctor in the A&E Department at Basurto Hospital in Bilbao. He also asked not to take the ceremonial kick-off for himself, but for his fellow health workers.
His request brings together all of these similar stories, because if there is a group that deserves recognition and applause, it is health workers.
In this tribute to the supporters, there had to be an Athletic story to remember the health workers.
