Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb, Gloria Estefan and her Sound Machine, Crockett and Tubbs, Steve Van Zandt, Dan Marino, Tony Montana, The Rock, Gentle Ben, Jon Secada, Don Shula, Police Academy 5, Jimmy Buckets.

Each was drawn to Miami, and the city handed them back star quality in spades. After Paris, where he looked rather bored and didn’t like the traffic, Lionel Messi is the latest to move to Miami to seek his fortune.

Or rather, another fortune. And other fortunes were available. After Saudi Arabia’s LIV-grab for golf paid off earlier this week, the transfer rumour mill dances to the Dr Beat of ageing legends taking up their share of that sweet, sweet, Public Investment Fund capital.

The Saudi Pro League is going through a similar moment to that once experienced in the Carling Premiership, when the likes of Emerson and Alen Boksic found themselves leafing through Teesside estate agent portfolios.
