For Manchester United fans of a certain age and generation, there were few better - or more idolised - than Ruud van Nistelrooy.
That is why it feels such a shame that the legendary Dutchman walked away from Old Trafford in 2006 with just one Premier League winner's medal, plus FA Cup and League Cup gongs.
It's a meagre haul of silverware for such an influential footballer who brought so much to United beyond his (frankly astonishing) tally of 150 goals in 219 appearances.
Van Nistelrooy wasn't just an instinctive and natural goalscorer, whose highlight reels are currently cropping up more regularly on the internet during this unprecedented footballing hiatus.
