The background song for Stage 1 of the 1982 classic videogame Pooyan (Tomy Tutor port) and the theme for the 1985 classic Commdore 64 game Zorro have been stuck in Marcos’ head for over two decades. If you pay close attention, you can sometimes hear him humming one of them.
In every soccer team in which he ever played, Marcos has worn number 22, after Uruguayan defender Richard “El Suavecito” Tavares (the only exception being “Resto del Mundo” in which he used number 4, the only one left).
Today, Marcos is recovering from a fractured clavicle and is pondering retirement. The soccer world will not notice.
Marcos has never owned a Windows PC (or DOS, for that matter) in his whole life. He is quite proud of it.
Marcos never ever lost a single game of Lakers VS Celtics on the SEGA Genesis. He played literally hundreds of matches and won more than a few with last second three pointers. Always playing as the Lakers. It was a gift. Sadly, the gift did not translate to the real life outside of videogames.
While living in Kibbutz Yehiam, Marcos would drink roughly two thirds of a 1.5 liter water bottle right before going to sleep (you do the math). It was the only way he could ensure that he HAD to get up at 4:45 AM for work.
