Luis Marquez dies aged 51 as Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian pays tribute to LaLiga icon

Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian has led the tributes to Luis Marquez after the LaLiga legend died aged just 51 on Monday morning.

Marquez came through the ranks at Real Betis, spending 11 years with Los Verdiblancos, before spells at Real Valladolid, Pontevedra and Real Jean. He earned the nickname 'Schuster' due to his physical and technical resemblance to German legend Bernd.

He helped Betis to get promoted back to the Spanish top-flight in 1994 and is fondly remembered for a stunning volley he scored against Atletico Madrid the following season. That strike is judged by many to have been the best ever scored at the Estadio Benito Villamerin.
