Francisco Stromp lived almost exclusively for Sporting, neither girlfriends, nor politics, nor studies, nor anything, the club was his great and only passion, to the point of crying in the prelections, or in the interval of the games, when he addressed his colleagues of team, appealing to his "sportinguismo" to arrive at the victories.
