Alex Livesey
Six weeks into the season, Ronaldo still hadn’t scored a goal, though. But on November 1, 2003, the Portuguese broke through and off he went. Three Premier League titles, one FA Cup, two League Cups, a UEFA Champions League, one Golden Boot and twice Player of the Year. A Manchester United legend.
And it all started 10 years ago today in a 3-0 win over Portsmouth, blonde highlights be damned.
You may resume feeling old now.
