Unknown photographer: A signed colour photograph of the Portuguese footballer Christiano Ronaldo (dos Santos Aveiro) (born 1985) in action for Juventus. 2018. Photo size 20×25 cm. Frame size 33×43 cm.

Ronaldo was the first Portuguese ever to become a Manchester United player, when he signed a contract with the English super team back in 2003. He asked to carry number 28 - his digits in Sporting CP - since he did not want to be number 7, which Ferguson had in mind. Number 7 had previously belonged to players like George Best, Bryan Robson, Éric Cantona and David Beckham. Eventually Ferguson and Ronaldo did agree about number 7 and Ronaldo kept this until he left for Real Madrid in 2009.
