Today marks 53 years since the tragedy of Vitinia.
A day where we bow to two great athletes and personalities – an example of bravery and humanity, wrote PFK Levski on their official website.
The names of Georgi Asparuhov and Nikola Kotkov remind us that there are legends that do not die, and the sadness for them is not just sadness for two great players. It is not only a sadness for the sports community, but also for the whole of Bulgaria. Because the loss of valiant people always hurts.
Gundy and Kotkov remained in football and public memory with their charm and elegance. Everything has been written and said about their career, and the victories and goals with Levski and with the national team will be remembered forever. However, they were universal favorites because they possessed incredible human qualities. That's why they were so loved.
It is our duty to preserve the memory and tell about their great achievements as athletes and people, to convey the merits of their characters.
„PFK Levski“ bows before the memory of Georgi Asparuhov and Nikola Kotkov.
Homage to the Unforgettables!
