Birthday wishes. Rodrigo (Rodrigo Moreno Machado) is Spanish (although born in Rio). Joining us from Valencia CF in August 2020 for a club-record fee (reported around £26-27 million), our most expensive signing at the time. Rodrigo became an important figure (striker/forward), in the attack over several seasons. He recorded a good goal tally and was one of the team’s main goal threats, especially in the 2022/23 Premier League season. However, after our relegated from the Premier League in 2023, Rodrigo moved on and left the club that summer, signing for Qatar’s Al-Rayyan (later spending time on loan at Al-Gharafa).

Do you remember his corner flag incident and his request for MY shirt (for a change) for his museum
