Curiosport - Iniesta collects Playmobil clickies.

sat 8th January 18:26:00 2011

Andrés Iniesta has other likings beside soccer. The South Africa World Cup Hero and candidate to the Golden Ball (which was won by Argentine Lionel Messi for the second year in a row), collects from very Young Playmobil clickies according to newspaper Sport and Televisión Española. This last gave him a present in an interview.
And this is because the man who made a whole country happy on July 11th, has a particular hobby, he collects Playmobil clickies, toys that the majority of the kids of his generation worshiped. Andrés Iniesta is no exception and he collects them since childhood.

The soccer player, who is fan of the music from his friends Estopa (a band) has his Barcelona house full of them, but not long ago one was missing form his collection. A very special clicky that he dreamed of after scoring the goal that gave the Spanish Team the Worldcup Championship in South Africa for the first time.
He already has the one he was missing

A Playmobil clicky of La Roja (The Red One, that’s how Spaniards call their team because of its red shirt), more accurately his own, with the number 6. One very similar to the one that appears left in the picture of our coworker of Cadena Cope, Miguel Ángel Díaz, author of the book 'The Secrets of La Roja'.

TVE (Television Española) wanted to give it to him as a present for the Wise Kings day as a preview of the Golden Ball, award that surely will fall in his hands next January 10th at a Gala of which you can be perfectly informed at www.eurosport.es next Monday.
