Luis Figo, what a player he was. A man who virtually carried the Portugese team until Christiano Ronaldo appeared. Luis had success in so many different countries and clubs including Inter Milan and Sporting CP (Lisbon). He is also one of the few players to have switched across the El Classico line. Hear about how Barcelona fans threw a pigs head amongst other things at him and how/why he joined the 'Galacticos'.
