Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima

Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, more commonly known outside of Brazil as simply 'Ronaldo' is probably the only player of the past two decade that comes close to Zinedine Zidane in terms of achievements and respect in the game. Ronaldo burst onto the Brazilian scene at just 16 years old with an astonishing 12 goals in 14 games for his first club Cruzeiro and lead them to their first ever Copa do Brasil championship. This form led to a call up to the Brazilian 1994 world cup squad at just 17 years old. That 17 year old kid would become one of the best footballers of the past two decades, and possibly one of the greatest strikers ever, check out my hubpage 'Great Soccer Players: Ronaldo' to read more about this great mans life and career.
