And so Ronaldo retires. If it hadn't been for the injuries that plagued him he could well have been the best ever. The only player to touch him (oh, er, missus!) in my book was the inimitable Bert Trumshaw who played for Accrington Stanley in the 1920's. Roni might have played for Real Madrid but Bert went one better by actually going to watch them play. He took a week off work from his job at a fish finger factory making prosthetic hands for the fish to go to Europe. Bert was the first person in his family to eat paella. So impressed was Bert by the silky skills of the Spanish, he copied what he saw and introduced a continental flair to the English game. That season Bert led his team to a best ever 1st round FA cup exit... and administration. Gawd bless you, Bert "paella" Trumshaw!
