The man who appears on lots of t-shirts was born in Argentina in 1928 and kick started along with Castro the Cuban revolution.
He died young, only 39, in Bolivia and when he died like with many other historical figures from the mid 20th century, the myth became reality.
His words show the real man behind the famous picture that has been stamped and copied for 50 years yet barely understood.
Here for you are some of his words.
The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.
If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
Remember that the revolution is what is important, and each one of us, alone, is worth nothing.
We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.
Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel.
And his final words....
I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.
