Banfield remembered José Luis 'Garrafa' Sánchez on the 20th anniversary of his death with a tribute published on its social networks, reviewing the figure and legacy of the playmaker who left a deep mark on the club's recent history. According to what Agencia Noticias Argentinas could find out, the club shared a video with images and messages alluding to the former player, accompanied by the phrase: 'Garrafa eternal 🔟♾. 20 years after his farewell, the left foot of José Luis Sánchez remains present in every memory'. At that moment, Boca was training in Ezeiza, and I from Laferrere had no other way to get there but on my motorcycle. One day I was late and on the way I ran into Bilardo and Pumpido. Two decades after his passing, Banfield once again brought to the forefront the memory of a different footballer, whose talent remains alive in the club's memory and in the new generations that discover him through audiovisual records. That same passion for motorcycles had been, years earlier, one of the factors that frustrated his arrival at Boca. In an interview, the player himself recalled that episode: 'It turns out I was going by motorcycle to the practices. At that moment, Boca was training in Ezeiza, and I from Laferrere had no other way to get there but on my motorcycle. One day I was late and on the way I ran into Bilardo and Pumpido'.
