For a country of only ten million people, Portugal has had one hell of an impact on our football.
Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo left massive imprints of course. Now we have the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, Marco Silva and Nuno Espirito Santo contributing to our Premier League.
I met up with another of their countrymen, Joao Palhinha, this week. Driving to the Fulham training ground at Motspur Park brought back happy memories of my own five years at the club.
