So many great players on the pitch in that game, plus Steve McManaman.

Just what I was thinking. Some incredible talent on that pitch.

Best Striker of all time imo. shame he was injured a lot towards the end, espeically with cruciate damage too.. really can destroy careers.. but that goal stat.. woooah

One of my favourite players.

I remember watching his comeback game for Inter on Football Italia, and him going down again with a repeat of his injury.

Such a shame he'll mainly be remembered for having the worst hair cut in the history of the game.

Awesome player!

I'd actually forgotten about that until you mentioned it although it is pretty bad I reckon Jason Lee has a fair shout in that category or perhaps Chris Waddle.

Stand up record to match the player on the pitch, no doubt when the guy was in his prime and fit a match for the best of his generation.

A spoiled time in the game though, moving to inter set him on a downward spirial, played as the centerpiece in the media, grouped in with injury, the infamous inter milan owner passing constant comment unsettling his recovery, and nike bleeding the guy dry... all of which dragged what could have been the greatest brazilian down from the player i saw playing at barca.

A real shame everything went against him, hope the guy finds a better life away from the green grass.

Great player in his day, although my personal favourite Brazilian striker would have to be Romario :cool:

Who gives two poops about that? Whatever floats his boat imo...

He was one of the very best footballers I have ever seen. If he wants to bonk goats in his spare time the so be it!

Oh no, I don't care, it's just the post saying he was fine off field to go with it

Heh

Record, as in goals scored

Sometimes the goals on a numbers sheet don't match the greatness you see from a player on the pitch, not the case with ronaldo

tbh i have no idea about the guys personal doings, i only follow the footballing scene, each to their own unless it's harming others.

Great player, use to pretending being Ronaldo on the football pitch, Retired Ronaldo is best Ronaldo, hearing about his goals back in the days and not ever getting to see them for ages was amazing.

His record speaks for itself. A truly brilliant player !!!!
