  R.I.P Luis. Whilst Del Bosque will take most of the credit for the surge in the Spanish national teams's success, it was Luis Aragones who started of the revolution. He got them to play nice and quick passing football and won them Euro 2008. The controversial thing you could say is the "racist" issue with Thierry Henry

  Was gonna ask if he was the racist one.
  
  Shall we give him the benefit of the doubt and say it was old-school racism? Like how your nan says stuff she shouldn't but doesn't mean anything by it?

  Haha yes you can probably say that. To be fair he only said one line and it wasnt necessarily targetting Henry, he just happened to be Reyes' team mate at the time and probably the best striker in the league. Was probably an old fashioned motivational technique from Aragones.
