He is considered "the first white simbol" by the Real Madrid official website. [1]
His premature death, at the age of 28 determined the club to build in 1925 a statue representing Sotero and one of his team-mates, Machimbarrena (who also died young) at the entrance of the first team's locker room. The statue stands at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in nowadays, and is seen as an inspiration totem for Real Madrid's generations of footballers.
