This piece gleams with layers: the tragedy of eternal wealth, the farce of footballer wages, and the quiet terror of getting exactly what you wished for."*

It can't have been good for the Good Midas that everything he touched turned to Gold. The expression "The Golden Touch" is probably most often associated with football players today.
