“I think he [Ronaldo] was born with desire — he sacrificed himself to be the best.”
One particular story stuck in his mind:
“We were playing Arsenal on a Saturday and it was pouring with rain at Carrington — I went to him [Ronaldo] and said ‘It’s too wet, the ground’s too soft’. I went in the office and looked out my window. He was on the astro turf [practicing].”
The great Scotsman then went on to eulogise about Ronaldo’s second debut, comparing it to something akin to a Roman Emperor, saying:
“That was like [Julius] Caesar entering Rome after victory. I came, I saw, I conquered. It was fantastic.”
