[Folami David]

Real Madrid great Alfredo Di Stefano, who will be 87 in July, has proved he still has plenty of joie de vivre by announcing he plans to marry a Costa Rican woman 50 years his junior.
.
Considered one of the greatest players of all time, Argentina-born Di Stefano said he was getting married to the 36-year-old Gina Gonzalez in the next few weeks "because I want to and I have been a widower for eight years".
.
"Each madman to their own," he was quoted as saying in Saturday's edition of El Mundo newspaper.
.
"I am in love and I am marrying Gina," he added. "I am 86 but I have a young heart."
.
Di Stefano, now honourary Real president, has had his share of health problems in recent years and these days is often seen in public in a wheelchair.
.
He said he had met Gonzalez when she helped in the preparation of his book and that his "sense of humour" had won her over.
.
Asked what his children made of the marriage plans, he added: "What do you think they would say? They might be against it. But that is not important to me.
