	Figo retires from international soccer - FIFA 2006: HT Special (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		As good as Figo was in his 15 years with the national team, he could not equal Eusebio's feat of claiming third place at the 1966 World Cup.
		Figo was arguably Portugal's most consistent and exhausted performer in Germany, where he started all games up to Saturday's third-place match.
		With the hope of at least equaling Eusebio, who led Portugal over the Soviet Union in 1966 and a third-place finish, Figo was the last of the country's so-called 'golden generation' and now cedes the mantle to a younger crop of players.

	AskMen.com - Luis Figo
		When Luis Figo was finally named European Player Of The Year for 2000 and FIFA 2001 Player of the Year, many fans said it was long overdue.
		Though his exit from FC Barcelona (where he played for years) left a sour taste in the city's mouth, he continued to strive in Real Madrid with the enormous pressure of being the world's most expensive player (since surpassed by Zinedine Zidane), and was the backbone of the Portugal national team for over a decade.
		Luis Filipe Madeira Caeiro Figo was born November 4, 1972, in Lisbon, Portugal.

	Luis Figo - Inter and Portugal :: Soccerphile
		It is estimated that Figo has agreed to pocket 3.5 million euros for the first year of his contract and 3.6 million for the second.
		Real released Figo to Milan on a free transfer, due to his merits at the Bernabeu, but had he chosen Valencia, another candidate for his signature, Real would have asked for compensation to the amount of 3.5 to 6 million euros for reinforcing a direct rival.
		When an offended Figo asked club president Florentino Perez what Real planned to do with him in the remaining 15 months of the contract, he was told "the coach would decide on his fate." For the brave winger, it was a sign that Perez was washing his hands of him.

		Figo made his top-level debut for Sporting Lisbon in 1989, the year he helped Portugal's Under-16 side win the world championship.
		Figo was Portugal's standout performer at Euro 2000 and set a world record transfer fee with his $74.6 million move to Real Madrid in July that year — a move that earned him the ire of Barcelona fans.
		Though Figo, now playing at Inter Milan, no longer produces the trademark explosive bursts that took him past the world's best defenders, he's a wise head on a young team.

	Figo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		There have been suggestions that Figo didn´t really want to move to Real Madrid, but only wanted to use the electoral campaign in Real Madrid as a means of pressure on the FC Barcelona directors to increase his wages [which already at the time were the highest at FC Barcelona].
		Figo then had to move to Real Madrid as he made a contract with Pirri, in which there was a clause that if Figo didn´t fulfill his part of the deal, he would have to pay a multi-million fine.
		Figo liked to move into the middle and to the left side of the field creating the build up in a more central role and leaving the personal marker, opposition coaches often commanded on him.
