Ronaldo, Luis Figo and Wayne Rooney are standing before God at the

throne of Heaven.

 

God looks at them and says; "before granting you a place at my side,

I must first ask you what you believe in."

 

Addressing Ronaldo first he asks, "what do you believe?"

 

Ronaldo looks God in the eye and states passionately, "I believe

Football to be the food of life. Nothing else brings such unbridled joy to

so many people from the slums of Rio to the bright lights of Madrid. I have

devoted my life to bring such joy to people who stood on the terraces

supporting their club." God looks up and offers Ronaldo the seat to his

left.

 

He then turns to Luis Figo , "and you, Luis, what do you believe?"

 

Figo stands tall and proud, "I believe courage, honour and passion

are the fundamentals to life and I've spent my whole playing career

providing living embodiment of these traits."

 

God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Figo the seat to his

right.

 

Finally, he turns to Wayne Rooney , "and you, Wayne, what do you

believe?"

 

"I believe" says Rooney "you're sitting in my seat."
