On his day he was one one of the best in the Premier League, but Manchester United winger Nani was a source of frustration for many supporters.
Saying that, how did his former teammates feel about his contribution?
Rio Ferdinand, who played at Old Trafford from 2002 to 2014, has spoke about the Portuguese winger since he left the club to join Fenerbahce for £4.25 million in 2015.
Nani made over 200 appearances for The Reds during his time in Manchester, winning Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League titles, but Ferdinand admitted that he left him frustrated - despite having 'everything'.

"I think the most frustrating thing is when you know you've got players in your team with undoubted ability - great ability, got everything - but don't consistently get that out onto the pitch," Ferdinand explained in an interview with Ball Street.
"Nani was a great player. I remember he started one of the seasons like a house on fire and he definitely would have won player of the year if he continued that vein of form.

"He just go sidetracked, I don't know, he just didn't do it all the time. He could shoot better than anybody, left and right, and so hard with both feet but he wasn't consistent with it.

"One would go over here, one would go there. You'd say: 'hit the target man, you don't have to hit it so hard,' but it's about getting all of that in one place at the same time."

I'm sure plenty of Manchester United fans will agree with Rio on this occasion. Nani did win all the titles, and has made over 100 appearances for Portugal, but he was never consistent under Sir Alex Ferguson and that clearly even frustrated his teammates.
