That was a great photo of the two of them laughing in the golf cart a while back. Genuine friends and I’m sure SAF will be devastated at the news
that is a fascinating insight to his skillHe had a hell of a career.
"Eventually, Walter Smith came in and decided not to give fouls in training. I think the sole purpose was for Ronaldo.
"So when Ronaldo was doing his skills, not passing the ball and taking the mick, the lads were fouling him.
"For two weeks, Ronaldo was tearing his hair out - and he was going bananas!
"What happened after a few weeks? Ronaldo starts moving the ball because he's sick of being kicked.
"Now he starts playing one or two-touch and running, now he starts getting more goals and it's clicking in his head, he's having more of an impact on games. That was the beginning of Ronaldo's transition."
Darren Fletcher’s words i believeHe had a hell of a career.
