Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey acknowledges the fans after the final whistle during the Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium, London..
HAS football gone mad? An above average Premier League player Aaron Ramsey is to be paid £400,000 per week?
I remember the amazing dribbles of Besty, the Cruyff turn and the fantastic skills of Gazza, plus brilliant goals from Ronaldo and the pure genius of Messi.
Football has lost the class footballers who produced that something special to be replaced by a fitter all action player like Ramsey but not one to get the fans out of their seats.
We may never see the likes of Besty and Gazza again, but the memories will last forever.
