'Bryan Robson had me at "hello". His stature really appealed to me. I wanted to be a part of where the club was going. It was a great journey to be involved in': How the Manchester United legend managed to convince players to sign for Middlesbrough

Manchester United legend Bryan Robson became the Middlesbrough player-manager in 1994, and the Englishman managed to convince players to sign for him - even when in the second tier - based on his legacy alone. Upon leaving Manchester United aged 37, Robson was tasked with getting Middlesbrough into the Premier League - he duly delivered at the first opportunity, winning the Division One title in a season in which he made 22 appearances himself.

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has reflected on his on-pitch relationship with former team-mate Xavi, highlighting that, despite their great success later in their careers, early on many didn't believe they could play together. Andres Iniesta and Xavi first played alongside each other during a 4-0 away win against Mallorca in 2002/03, with their final time on the pitch together coming during the 2014/15 Champions League semi-final second-leg against Bayern Munich, in which Barcelona won 3-0.

Chelsea legend Roberto Di Matteo has revealed what it felt like to replace Andre Villas-Boas in the middle of their iconic 2012 Champions League-winning season.

‘I thought if I couldn’t become a better player under somebody like Steven Gerrard, I might as well chuck it in. I picked his brains whenever I could’: Ex-Rangers midfielder reveals what it was like playing for Liverpool legend at Ibrox

Steven Gerrard enjoyed three successful seasons in charge of Rangers between 2018 and 2021, helping them break Celtic's monopoly in Scotland by winning the 2020/21 Scottish Premiership.

Cristiano Ronaldo recently celebrated his 40th birthday in Saudi Arabia, but when he turned 35 in 2020, the Portuguese superstar requested a BRIT Awards nominee to play at his party. At the time, Cristiano Ronaldo was playing for Juventus and in the middle of a profitable goalscoring 2019/20 season in which he bagged 31 goals in 33 Serie A games. Part of that was played behind closed doors, however, with COVID limiting attendances across Europe.
‘A game like beating Barcelona 4-0 might not happen again, so it lasts forever. It’s one of the greatest comebacks in history - the fans believed in us for every second’: Liverpool cult hero recalls historic 2019 Champions League win | FourFourTwo

Liverpool completed one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the Champions League in 2019, and one Reds player from that period believes it might be a unique achievement. Heading into the second-leg 3-0 down against Barcelona in the semi-finals, Liverpool weren't given a chance of reaching the final in Madrid. They were also missing Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, meaning Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri had to step into the starting XI.
