The Cristiano Ronaldo aura cheat code in real life 😭 Danny Simpson was struggling on a date with Miss California in LA until Cristiano randomly walked up to give him a hug in the restaurant. A single hello from Ronaldo completely flipped her attitude from total disinterest to all-in. Off-Pitch assist at its peak.
Fantastic Kevin Keegan story about meeting Bill Shankly for the first time, after traveling across the Pennines to Liverpool FC. Shanks offered Kev 50 quid a week wages to seal the deal.
"I met the man who was going to make me."
fun fact: jude used to play football just for fun, but his dad tryna to challenge him so his academy coach threw him into a match against premier league academy side, and then jude ended up scoring 15 goals in the first half 🗿
“My dad was kidnapped for the second time just before Nigeria’s 2018 World Cup game against Argentina.😳The first time, I paid a huge ransom and still went out to play without telling anyone. Roman Abramovich later told me, ‘Just say the word and I’ll get your dad out in less than 24 hours.’ I asked him, ‘How?’”

Brilliant stuff from Sir Alex Ferguson on Kevin Keegan’s entertainers.
And how after the infamous 95/96 season he ran into Keegan in a bar after playing golf, and they spent an evening together on the piano.

Wake me up when Lionel Messi stops Times Square, New York like Cristiano Ronaldo did against Prime Spain in the World Cup.
This is true definition of Aura🥶
I think this may be one of the best football interviews ever. From both sides. Imagine this happening today? Never. The more you hear about Kevin Keegan makes you realise what a special person he truly was.
I do not remember seeing this video, ever. But I wish now that this is what is remembered mere months after the infamous clip (which should be remembered in its own way).
This is lovely.
Kylian Mbappé, Achraf Hakimi and Aurélien Tchouaméni asked a woman which position is the hardest to play in football. She said, “Midfield.” 😂 They all burst into laughter… Mbappé’s reaction is funny 😭😭
