* Birthplace: Funchal, Madeira, Portugal
* Best Known As: The world soccer player of the year in 2008
Speedy, flamboyant, and a deadly shot with either foot, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of soccer's most famous wingers. Ronaldo was a prodigy in Portuguese youth leagues and joined his boyhood team, Sporting Lisbon, in 2002 at age 17. A year later the club sold him to the leading English team Manchester United for a fee of 12 million pounds
Rooney and Ronaldo were professional teammates on Manchester United, and Ronaldo endured a storm of criticism in England after a camera caught him winking to teammates after the incident... George Best once said of Ronaldo, "There have been a few players described as the new George Best over the years, but this is the first time it's been a compliment to me"...
His birthplace, Madeira, is an island about 600 miles from the Portuguese mainland; it's the namesake of Madeira wine... "His father, José Dinis, named him after his favourite actor Ronald Reagan, who was US president at the time," according to the Guardian.
