Aldair, aka "El Pollo" (The Chicken), had the talent to make it to Mexico's top league with Club América. From age 7, he showed exceptional skills that took him from local soccer schools all the way to América's second division team in Coapa. But at 16, a knee injury and lack of money crushed his dream.
--------------
La necesidad de dinero lo llevó a jugar por fuera del club, ocultando su situación. Cuando el apoyo institucional disminuyó, comenzó a juntarse con amistades equivocadas que lo introdujeron al consumo de marihuana y alcohol. Esta espiral lo llevó a estar presente en el momento equivocado: lo acusaron de robar una camioneta de PepsiCo junto con otros jóvenes, aunque él asegura que solo buscaban bebidas para cotorrear.
Hoy, con 27 años y casi una década en prisión cumpliendo una sentencia de 17 años, El Pollo se ha convertido en el máximo goleador del penal donde viven 5 mil internos. Juega futbol todos los días, ha recibido visitas de futbolistas profesionales como Raúl Jiménez, y sueña con volver a las canchas cuando recupere su libertad.
Esta es la historia de un talento desperdiciado por las circunstancias, pero que no ha dejado de patear el balón.
-------------------
Desperate for money, he started playing for other teams on the side, hiding it from the club. When their support dried up, he fell in with the wrong crowd who got him into weed and drinking. That downward spiral put him in the wrong place at the wrong time: he was accused of stealing a PepsiCo delivery truck with some other guys, though he swears they were just looking to grab some drinks to hang out.
Today, at 27 and almost a decade into his 17-year sentence, El Pollo has become the top scorer in a prison with 5,000 inmates. He plays soccer every day, gets visits from pro players like Raúl Jiménez, and dreams of getting back on the field when he gets out.
This is the story of wasted talent shaped by circumstances, but a guy who never stopped kicking the ball.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
