He had an illustrious career playing for some of Europe’s biggest clubs and won many titles.
But in New York he showed that his baseball skills needed a lot of work after a poor opening pitch in the New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays.

One reacted by saying: “Stay in football.”
Another added: “Honestly should have kicked it home ”
A third wrote: “I can’t understand how athletes, all athletes, can’t throw a ball?
