Drury, who admits "there isn't anybody else like Messi", tells Mirror Football: "The challenge with Messi... is to try and find a new way of expressing what he does.

In 1973, Cleo Laine wrote lyrics to "Cavatina" and recorded her version under the title "He Was Beautiful". Laine was accompanied by Williams on her recording.
