I have to admit, as great as he was, I’m not sorry to see him go.

I didn’t see him in the same light after the World Cup in 2006 when, in my humble opinion, he was responsible, or at least partly so, for sending Wayne Rooney off in the quarter-final match. Remember that infamous wink to the Portuguese bench? Hmmmm.

A great player but petulant, volatile and stroppy at best. Good luck to Real Madrid. Bring back Beckham, or even better, Eric Cantona please. I know, I know, too old, but they’re part my dream team. *Sigh*
