Fate and friendship once again brought the Paraguayan goalkeeper together with one of the most meaningful jerseys of his professional career, which will be returned to his hands.
In the midst of a deeply emotional story, the goalkeeper’s jersey was located. Gill himself had been forced to auction it off during the pandemic crisis due to serious financial hardship, with the sole purpose of paying his son’s medical expenses.
The historic number 23 shirt, worn by the goalkeeper for Paraguay’s U-17 national team, had been kept quietly all these years. Its original buyer turned out to be Pedro Suárez, a childhood friend of the player from the Reducto neighborhood of San Lorenzo, who bought it to help him through that difficult time.
Suárez decided to keep it untouched as a valuable memento of his friend’s career. After learning of Gill’s current success, the jersey’s current owner publicly announced that he plans to return it to him in person, bringing to a very emotional close a reunion filled with sentimental value.
