50 years no. 8 - Stoichkov celebrates his 50th anniversary

I have a probably stupid idea of calling an XT gathering in Sofia in May 2016 for the entertainment game Hristo Stoihkov is organising. In fact, it is not just an idea because I have already booked 15 tickets for the show, which is going to take place in Sofia in the evening on May 20th, 2016. It would be great to meet some XT's here. Can help arranging for accommodation etc. We would go to a nice restaurant and some clubbing the night before; then probably have a signing session with Estoikov and whoever he would take there. Even some mountain trekking (suitable for fat middle agers) is not excluded.

The main reason I had this idea is the participants list. Confirmed so far are:

*Diego Maradona
*Carlos Valderrama
*Gheorghe Hagi
*Gheorghe Popescu
*Jorge Campos
*Jose Luis Chilavert
*Ivan Zamorano
*Daniele Massaro
*Gianfranco Zola
*Antonio Benarrivo
*Davor Suker
*Zvonimir Boban.

*Nasko Sirakov
*Yordan Letchkov
*Lyuboslav Penev
*Krasimir Balakov
*Emil Kostadinov

And the latest addition to the list:

Quote:

Roberto Baggio is the next player to confirm his participation in the show celebrating the 50th birthday of Bulgarian football legend Hristo Stoichkov next year. With the confirmation of Baggio, the number of Ballon d'Or holders to take part in the show has risen to two, with Stoichkov being the other one to have been awarded the prize. In fact, Baggio and Stoichkov were awarded the Ballon d'Or in two consecutive years, with the Italian winning the prize in 1993 and the Bulgarian following suit the next year.
