Surely most of us don't know or have never even heard of Joan Ricardo.
The former Portuguese goalkeeper, however, has gone down in history for something quite unusual.
He actually conceded the first goal in Cristiano Ronaldo's career, writes "Gazeta Express".
At the time, he admitted he was nervous when the Portuguese legend beat him, but now he feels proud that he gave the five-time Ballon d'Or winner a "good leg up."
"How does it feel to be the first goalkeeper to concede a goal to Cristiano Ronaldo? At the time I felt nervous and frustrated, but today I'm happy."
"Cristiano took the ball in the middle of the field, dribbled past the players and didn't give me a chance to react. No one could stop him and there was nothing I could do. He was unstoppable!"
"I've conceded a lot of goals, but I won't forget Cristiano and he won't forget me either. Once we met in Portugal, I went to him and told him who I was and he remembered me!"
"When Cristiano scored 900 goals, I received a message from a friend of mine, who made fun of me by reminding me that I was the first to concede a goal to Ronaldo!" /Express newspaper
