“Last night I returned to a place that I remember dearly. A place where I was so happy, a place where you made me feel a thousand times more like the happiest person in the world. I hope that I can go back someday, and not only to say goodbye to the player I never was,” Lionel wrote, with thousands of fans reacting with emotion and six photos of him being spread around the world. <\/p>\n
