WHO WAS ALBERT FANTARU?

 Many may not be aware that Cristiano Ronaldo and one friend called Albert Fantaru , were very close friends when both were kids, childhood friends you can say.

 Both were footballers and were playing for their childhood club in the Island of Madira , in Portugal

 So one fine day some scouts came to their club to watch several players. The scouts had come from Sporting Lisbon a giant in Portugal.

 Now the scouts told the boys remember that only one player will e selected today., so all must do their best.

 The first goal was scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, later his friend Albert Funtaru had a chance to score a goal but he passed it to Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored tat goal. Cristiano ronaldo was selected  as a 12 year-old boy. When Cristiano Ronaldo asked Albert, why he did not score.

  He replied we both know you are a better footballer then.  me.

 Cristiano Ronaldo never forgot Albert. He got him  a big mansion in Portugal and a Ferrari  car as well.

 Albert never did reach lofty heights as a footballer as e suffered from regular injuries a injury prone player, he a forced to retiree  early
