Video: Blind kid Mamadou visits Barcelona, able to identify most players by touch

Posted by Chris Wright

The FCB Foundation recently invited a young blind lad by the name of Mamadou along to Barca's Joan Gamper training complex to meet his heroes.

Amazingly enough, Mamadou was able to identify almost all of the players who came out to meet him using nothing but his hands -- though, obviously, Puyol's a bit of an easy one: He gives off the faint odour of a zoo enclosure and can be smelt from several feet away.



Mamadou couldn't identify Pinto, but then who in their right mind would want to identify Pinto?
