2) Cristiano Ronaldo – Portugal
Putting O’Shea’s 100 caps to shame, Ronaldo became the first athlete to accumulate 100m Facebook fans, celebrating by scoring his EIGHTEENTH, yes, that’s EIGHTEENTH goal of the season. It is mid-October.
1) Kyle Lafferty – Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland have just won their third successive group game, putting themselves in a great position to qualify for Euro 2016 before the we’ve even reached the end of 2014. Lafferty is the man they have to thank for another stunning win, he worked ceaselessly, preventing the Greeks from building any sort of rhythm – and most importantly he scored Northern Ireland’s second, streaking clear of the defence and slotting fearlessly. Bravo.
