PLAYED A BLINDER

Ulisses Neto: FFT’S videographer found Ronaldo in the mood to bare his soul. “Hearing O Fenomeno’s story of redemption – from 1998 World Cup heartbreak and knee injury heartache to scoring the goals that won Brazil the 2002 World Cup – was inspirational.” Fernando Munoz: The Panini sticker aficionado let us loose on his World Cup archive. “I started in 1986, somehow getting Diego Maradona in a pack, but Italia 90 and our Colombian superstar Carlos Valderrama was the big one. I can’t wait to start on the 2018 edition!” Will Cornelius: The lensman snapped Arsenal’s Armenian ace in north London. “Four of us were trying to figure out how to spell Mkhitaryan. He walks in and says, ‘Most people just call me Micki’. He was an absolute gent and the most intelligent baller I have ever shot.”
