REMEMBERING MAIKEL PADRÓN

Four years ago today will go down as one of the saddest days in the history of UD Lanzarote when they lost their former player Maikel Padrón at just 34 years of age.

Ex team mates will meet tomorrow morning at the Monumento al Campensino in San Bartolmé and will pay their own tribute with a walk to Mancha Blanca. I am sure that the veterans will have some great stories from the past to discuss.

Maikel made his debut with the Rojillos at just 17 years of age and was part of UD Lanzarote´s finest ever achievement when they won the Segunda B (Third Tier) in the 2003/04 season.

After suffering with severe headaches in June 2018 he passed less than four months later leaving behind his wife and two children as well as his parents.

Our thoughts are with you Maikel and all your family.
