During this very bullfight, the light of a new bullfighting star began to shine; Luis Miguel Dominguin. He pronounced himself "Numero Uno" - the Number One - shortly after Manolete's death. Dominguin was a hearthrob and fond of provoking public opinion. One of his brothers was a self-proclaimed communist, and this had not passed unnoticed by General Franco himself.
