25 years since one legend , Freddie Mercury , died . Today , another legend also passes away . Yes , the word legend is banded about a lot , especially on rsoccer , but I can use it in this case with great justification . I am an American who fell in love with the sport , the franchise , and the man during the magical European run . Probably many others coming from the same context . He ' d always score in the most clutchiest moment possible and it was almost always a screamer to boot . I don ' t even need to link the goals or be more specific and you can probably already visualize and hear the moments because of how iconic they were . Now my weekend plans always factor setting my alarm early for when Liverpool plays , all because of this man . RIP Stevie . We ' ll miss you .
