Hope for all of us ugly people.

From today's Fiver:

The unnamed member of Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez's inner circle, who said in January 2004: "How ugly is Ronaldinho?! There was no point buying him, it wasn't worth it. He's so ugly that he'd sink you as a brand. Between Ronaldinho and Beckham, I'd go for Beckham a hundred times. Just look how handsome Beckham is, the class he has, the image. The whole of Asia has fallen in love with us because of Beckham. Ronaldinho is too ugly."

With that, congratulations to Ronaldinho, the 2004 FIFA World Player of the Year and one ugly motherfucker:
