Only nine men have won the World Cup, the Champions League and the Ballon d’Or. Only one of those men was a shimmying, hip-shaking, larger-than-life party animal with a touch as deft on the football pitch as is was on the dance floor. That’s right, join Marcus, Luke and Jim for a misty-eyed chat about Brazilian legend Ronaldinho!

With a new documentary celebrating his life out this week, we look back over the career of one of our favourite footballers of all time. From manipulating the ball (and opponents) across Europe and Brazil, to a few seasons of utter dominance and a lifetime of partying like few others, it’s a joyous journey of flair, fun and football at its absolute best. Let’s get into it!

The Ramble Intercontinental Senate lies in ruin after Jimbabwe destroyed both Donaco and Spelgium. All hope seems lost, but a ray of light has broken through. Is that... the Luke Nation?

Marcus is back on his feet, ready to referee a Biddy bout between these two Herculean beasts.
