A FOREIGN ADDITION TO OUR GAME

12th January 2001 After resigning from managing Lazio, Sven Goran Erikksen officially took over as England manager and we soon realised foreign managers were as crap as English. 


ones!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q33sNrncVmI    This contains some disturbing images.

and another foreigner on this day in 2008 & 2009, called Cristiano Ronaldo had (and still has of course) the reputation of being a decent player and goalscorer. During his first spell at Manchester United he scored 118 goals in his 292 first team appearances for the Red Devils. But surprisingly he only managed one hat-trick in that total – that came on 12th January 2008, when his three second-half goals helped United to a 6-0 win over Newcastle at Old Trafford. Obviously helped by that hat-trick, and the fact that he helped Manchester United win the Premier League title and the Champions League, exactly a year later on 12th January 2009, he was voted FIFA World Player of the Year for 2008. That made him the first player from the Premier League to win that title.


One of the world's most marketable and famous athletes, Ronaldo was ranked the world's highest paid athlete in 2016 and 2017 and the world's most famous athlete by ESPN from 2016 to 2019. Time included him on their list of the 100 most influential person in 2014. He is the first footballer and the third sportsman to earn US$1 billion in his career.
