On this new feature on The Football Hour, Alex writes love letters to footballers after their moments of magic.

This week's heartfelt letter is a slight throwback, back to a time when CR7 wore the red of Manchester United.

So the other day I was minding my own business scrolling through faceyb and then Bang, crash, there it was. The lads at sportbible posted a TBT video and I was in shock, all over again. It was a TBT of Cristiano Ronaldo's freekick against Portsmouth, the birth of the knuckle ball.

This goal was so scorching that I knew I had to get out my pen and paper and write to Ronaldo in Madrid.

Enjoy the Podcast.
