Trajanos Dellas, 50, a 2004 European football champion with the Greek national team, who could have joined Shakhtar, has suffered a tragedy in his family. His beautiful wife Gogo Mastrocosta has died at the age of 55 after a long battle with breast cancer, epo.gr reports.
VIDEO OF THE DAY
The Greek football legend, who is survived by his 18-year-old daughter Victoria, wrote a heartbreaking post on Instagram.
“My angel, my love, fly high, fly, go to the light, to the light that illuminated you here, to the light that filled your smile and illuminated our lives,” Traianos Dellas wrote, posting a photo of his beloved. “But no matter how far you fly, my love will reach you.”
Take care of us, my Angel, from there and especially of our Victoria!
I thank God for giving me one of His angels to accompany me all these years and make me better, but He wanted to bring him back earlier because I was unlucky in that alone. He brought you along the way, he takes you back.
