2. Listen to Bobby Charlton — he knows his stuff

3. Always love football — and don’t forget how lucky you are to be playing it

4. Your first touch needs to be faultless (he’s looking at YOU Phil Jones)

5. Always capitalise on your rivals’ mistakes (United swooped in when City hesitated in signing Giggs)

6. Play with a bit of style

7. Show no fear (like Giggs as a 17-year-old)

8. Embrace playing at the Theatre of Dreams

9. Make sure you ‘kick the ball correctly’

AKA don’t do what Barthez does

10. Make the most of your foreign adventures

11. Get plenty of balls into the box and vary your crossing

12. A bit of fun in your downtime never hurt anyone

13. Never forget those supporters who pay your wages

14. Remember: ‘If you don’t shoot, you definitely won’t score’

15. Team spirit is essential

16. Always keep your eye on the ball and use your arms for balance

Not off target

18. With great power comes great responsibility (and nice clothes)
