    Lionel Messi is one of great football player in this world. He was born on24 June
    1987, in Rosario Argentina from ordinary family. His father is just a factory steel
    worker, and his mother is a cleaner.
    He began playing from an early age, and his talent was soon apparent. However, at
    the age of 11, Messi was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). This
    was a condition that stunted growth, and required expensive medical treatment,
    including the use of the drug Human growth hormone.
    Local club, River Plate were interested in signing Messi, but didn’t want to pay for
    his medical treatment. However, Messi was given a trial with Barcelona, and coach
    Carles Rexach was impressed – offering Messi a contract (written on paper
    napkin!) which included paying for Messi’s treatment in Spain. Messi moved to
    Barcelona with his father and became part of the prestigious FC Barcelona youth
    academy.
