Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, or just 'Ronaldo' is considered by experts and fans to be one of the greatest players of all time. Dubbed as 'The Phenomenon',he is one of only 3 men to have won the FIFA World player of the year award thrice. Beautiful, delicate and a skillful dribbler on the ball. He was a splendid finisher in front of the goal and is widely regarded as one of the best strikers ever !!

Ronaldo won the World Cup with the star-studded Brazilian team. He was the World Cup's Top scorer with 15 goals until Miroslav Klose surpassed his tally.

A Brazilian Hall of famer, Ronaldo was once the costliest teenager in the World. He was the spark that every team required and showcased his class from time to time. Ronaldo's hat-trick against the Red Devils of Manchester in the UEFA Champions League is widely considered as his finest display ever at club level.

He was a World Cup star from the start. A golden ball winner at the 1998 FIFA WC in France and won the golden boot in the following 2002 WC in S.Korea/Japan where he finally got his hands on the trophy.

In the later stages of his career he was mostly down with injuries or wasn't match fit. He finally called time on his marvellous career in 2011. He currently resides in Brazil and makes several appearences in Charity matches.

Ronaldo is the "name" that we all know symbolizes the game of football. Although Cristiano is more famous now, it was this guy who iconized the name 'RONALDO'. 
A true legend. One of the best if not the best undoubtedly. 
A game changer who was considered a top player although he never reached his full  potential.
