Born the son of a Madrid doctor in 1943, Iglesias toyed with a career in law before it became apparent that football might well be his true calling.
To be fair, Iglesias had something of a head start in life. Maybe it’s something in the Spanish water that consistently produces these iconic figures of manliness? Not your macho, swarthy types but sophisticated, elegant, handsome and kind types, such as Antonio Banderas for example. But he’s not just magnificently successful – he is also universally adored and respected, his gentlemanly Spanish charm helping him win admirers far beyond music, in much the same way that the late Seve Ballesteros won the hearts of millions of non-golf fans.
Iglesias owns a €150m property in MarbellaĮighty albums in 14 languages, more than 2,600 gold and platinum records, 300 million record sales worldwide – Spain’s Julio Iglesias is one of the top five best-selling music artists in history.
