team all within one season and was the
only player ever to do so when he was
just 15 a health problem threatened to
end his career before it started but an
operation fixed his racing heart and
allowed him to continue on to greatness
it wasn’t long before teams around the
league were clamoring to secure this
young talent in 2003 Manchester United
manager Alex Ferguson signed him for 15
million pounds and Ronaldo became the
club’s first ever Portuguese player
bearing the same jersey number as
legends like George best Bryan Robson
Eric Cantona and David Beckham Ronaldo
proved he was worth the money by helping
the team secure an FA Cup win the next

with a three-match ban thanks to a
controversial headbutt it was in 2008
that he won the Champions League with
Manu with that he became the first
winger to win the European Golden Shoe

League Golden Boot Award the awards
continued piling up and Ronaldo became
Manchester United’s first Ballon d’Or
winner in 40 years as well as the first
Premier League player ever to be named
FIFA World Player of the Year
it was Renaldo’s combination of skills
like dribbling speed power and haste
plus his capacity for beating goalies
with his head and feet that made him a
unique threat he was labeled by many as
one of the greatest players in history
but finally in 2009
Ronaldo’s wish to leave menu was granted
he was transferred to Real Madrid for a
record 80 million pounds by his second

53 goals in one season he also hit 100
goals faster than anyone in the history
of La Liga when he won the European
Golden Shoe award in Madrid for
2010-2011 he became the first player to
win the trophy in two different leagues
however soon Leonel Messi who played for
Real Madrid’s arch rivals FC Barcelona
eclipsed Ronaldo’s glory but Ronaldo got
the last laugh when Real Madrid won La
Liga in 2012
he’s on side he’s baiting the defense he
calls Allah’s question despite
accusations by fans and the media that
Ronaldo showcased an individualistic
technique or selfish style he has been
nothing short of extraordinary in club
play however his performance with
Portugal has been lackluster he made
little impact during his World Cup
showings in 2006 and 2010 time will tell
if Ronaldo will be propelled to the top
of his sport at the international level
as well
