Retro Snapshot: Andres Iniesta, Pepe Reina & Sir Bobby Robson Recite Hymns At ‘La Masia’, 1996
By Chris Wright
Just a fantastic snap of wee Andres Iniesta, a ‘slightly less-wee’ Pepe Reina and Sir Bobby Robson running through an acoustic version of ‘Freebird’ at Barca’s La Masia youth academy during the mid-90s – nothing more, nothing less…
Amazing to think that there’s only a year between Iniesta and Reina in this photo – Pep looks like he’s only a few years off Bobby!
