cristiano ronaldo

Portuguese soccer phenom Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on February 5, 1985 in Funchal, Madeira. As a free-scoring attacking midfielder, Cristiano Ronaldo is known for his fantastic technical skills that consistently leave defenders scratching their heads. Ronaldo plays as a winger for popular Spanish club Real Madrid and serves as captain of the Portuguese national team.

Ronaldo currently holds the distinction of being the most expensive player in soccer history after having transferred to Real Madrid from Manchester United in a deal reportedly worth $132 million...David Beckham who?

Amongst his countless individual accolades, Cristiano Ronaldo was selected as the FIFA "World Player Of The Year" in 2008. He also won the prestigious Ballon D'or award that year, which is awarded to the best player from a European club as determined by a panel of journalists from around the world.

He guided Manchested United to 3 consecutive English Premiership championships in 2006-2007, 2007-2008 and 2008-2009.

Ronaldo has been romantically linked to a number of famous beauties, including popular British actress Gemma Atkinson and notorious Hollywood socialite Paris Hilton.
