You become a footballer because you love football. & then you are a footballer, & you’re suddenly in the strangest, most baffling world of all.

A world where one team-mate comes to training in a bright red suit with matching top-hat, cane & glasses, without any actual glass in them, & another has so many sports cars they forget they have left a Porsche at the train station. Even when their surname is incorporated in the registration plate.

So walk with me into the dressing-room, to find out which players refuse to touch a football before a game, to discover why a load of millionaires never have any shower-gel, & to hear what Cristiano Ronaldo says when he looks at himself in the mirror.

- Murder, Inc
- & Falk landed a juicy role for which he received rave reviews &, incredibly, was nominated for an Academy Award.
