My Take
Paulo Futre is one of those names that makes older football fans light up. A gifted left winger from Montijo, he won the 1987 European Cup with Porto before embarking on a remarkably nomadic career across Spain, France, Italy, England and even Japan. What I admire most is his refusal to be boxed in, later turning to acting after football. There's a restless, free-spirited quality to a life like that which I find magnetic. He lived flat out, on the pitch and off it, and I think that fearless willingness to keep moving is exactly what made him unforgettable.
