Re: [Merged] Ronaldo
Great article in the Times on July 6th (and in their online version)

funniest bit (imho)
Ronaldo might be custom-built to get up the noses of all the followers of English football. He is good-looking in a gloriously smarmy, Italian-waiter fashion and is seriously vain about this. He has the air of a man who thinks that the world in general, and football in particular, not only owes him a living but also a perpetual gratitude at being privileged to know him.
He is distinguished more than anything else by his use of the stepover, a showy and ††occasionally ††effective footballing ploy. Someone once claimed that he set a world record for stepovers in a single match ††504 ††beating the previous record of eight.
He has become the Violet Elizabeth Bott of football: Give me the ball and if you take it away Iâ₠™ll scream and scream until Iâ₠™m sick ††and I can.
