«Alser must not lose its identity as a club after 40 years, and must work with its youth academy while always maintaining humility». That was the final service Francisco Javier Claver left us before his tragic death on the afternoon of Monday 30 May. These words, spoken to Superdeporte newspaper a year ago on the occasion of our promotion to Asobal, are a final legacy of all the good Paco contributed to Valencian Handball and to BM Puerto Sagunto as coach of our Division of Honour Silver team in 94-95.
Paco Claver, a legend and figurehead from the centre of the attack of the celebrated Marcol, BM Valencia and Avidesa Alzira. Paco Claver, former coach of BM Alzira, BM Puerto Sagunto and BM Castellón; Paco Claver, Chemistry teacher at Maristas School in Valencia since time immemorial; but above all Paco Claver, the man, all kindness and friendship, what you would call a truly good person.
From BM Puerto Sagunto, we would like to express our deepest condolences to all his family and friends at this very difficult time.
Farewell, Paco. We love you.
