The Best Player on the Planet?

His class is undeniable and his skill unquestioned, but is Lionel Messi really the greatest player ever to set foot on a football

pitch?

Ever since his emergence in the colours of Barcelona, Messi has mesmerised fans and

What about Maradona himself? Messi’s fellow Argentine was a hero to his legion of fans during the 80s and early 90s. However, his drug fuelled binges and erratic behaviour mean, for many, his reputation will always be blackened.

So, what about more contemporary rivals? How about Messi’s fellow magician from Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo? Bought from Sporting Lisbon by Manchester United for £12.6m in 2004, Ronaldo showed exactly why Fergie has such an eye for talent: he’s electric-fast, is physically imposing at over six-feet tall, and scores for fun! And so, when

terrorised his fellow professionals. Where some players run tirelessly for ninety minutes, scrapping for every touch of the ball that they can, Messi glides effortlessly, almost like a ballerina. Watching Messi, is quite honestly, like a religious experience; not since Maradona has a player picked up the ball, and guided it to the goal with such craft and vision.However, is that all there is to Messi? And, if it is, can he really be the greatest ever player?

Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for £80 m, the stage was set for one of the greatest confrontations in football. Ever since, El Clasico – the nickname given to the epic battles between Barcelona and Real Madrid each season – has never been better as the two geniuses of the modern game compete for greatness.However, the question of who really is the greatest player on Earth remains to be answered.

Smoking Cessation Leaflet

Quit Smoking and Save Your Life

Latest government research shows that three quarters of smokers would quit if they could. But they can’t and that’s because they are addicted. That means that little signals are sent from their brain each time they want a cigarette telling them to have one. There’s nothing smokers can do about this it’s just what happens when you become addicted to cigarettes.

Or is it?

If you want to take control of your life again, keep reading, you don’t have to be a slave to cigarettes forever.

Why should you stop smoking? - Jessica’s Story

I remember when I was little and my dad used to take me to the shop everyday. He would buy cigarettes in a green and white packet which he said were better because they were minty and didn’t smell as bad! He used to buy me candy cigarettes in little tiny boxes for ten pence. All the way home I copied what he was doing with his cigarette and I was just like my dad.

Except I wasn’t. When my dad’s fingers started to turn yellow mine didn’t. And when his breath began to smell like an ash tray, mine didn’t. Then when he started to cough really violently every morning, I didn’t. And one day, when he coughed and there was blood on his tissue, there wasn’t on mine. Suddenly, I wasn’t like my dad at all. Everything was different.

But the biggest difference of all is the worst. I’m here talking to you; my dad is dead.

The Effects of Smoking

You smell terrible Your teeth and fingers turn yellow Your general level of fitness reduces You have increased chances of

developing heart disease and cancer. You will, statistically, lead a shorter life. Your children are more likely to be

smokers.

IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU WANT?

How does the Government try to stop Smokers?

By banning smoking in public places.

By taxing cigarettes heavily; up to half of the price of a packet is tax.

By making it harder for smokers to receive some types of medical treatments.

IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU WANT?

If you don’t want this, then call the NHS Smoking Cessation line on 0845 800 789.

Quit today for a longer, happier, safer life.
