He went to St. Serfs school were he was a rather quiet pupil, until of course, as anyone who knows him, he stepped onto the soccer pitch. He shunned the roll of forward for the more unorthodox "bare knuckle boxer” and "chief shin kicker” role, it was novelty for him to be on the pitch a whole ninety minutes, never mind score goals. He then went on to play for Prestonfield Boys Club and then Napier University football team. Sadly this was to be the end of his sporting career, as this was when he discovered alcohol and women.

In 2009, the Spanish soccer club Real Madrid agreed to pay Manchester United a record $131 million for the chance to sign Ronaldo. Ronaldo’s commitment to Manchester United had come under constant question, and speculation swirled that he wanted to play elsewhere, so nobody was all that surprised to see Ronaldo leave. "I know that they are going to demand a lot of me to be successful at the club and I know that I'm going to have much more pressure than at Manchester United because I was there for many years," Ronaldo told reporters. But it means a new challenge and is going to help me be the best footballer." Ronaldo went on to compile an impressive list of individual honors and team trophies.
David Robert Joseph Beckham OBE (born May 2, 1975) is an English footballer born in Leytonstone, London. He is a midfielder for Real Madrid and captain of the English national team. He is noted for the quality of his crossing and ability to hit free-kicks and corners, particularly at long-range free-kicks and also for his marriage to a Spice Girl. He has played most of his career for Manchester United. Although there are arguably many better current players in world football none are as famous.
In addition to his mind-boggling amounts of goals for his club, Real Madrid, Ronaldo has in short terms ´single handedly´ dragged Portugal through the group stages and a make or break match against Sweden, to the World Cup.

After drawing the first leg of the tie 1-1 (scoring Portugal´s only goal) Cristiano and his team-mates then had the tough task of going away to Sweden to face Zlatan Ibrahimovic and co in an all or nothing match in which the winner would progress to the Worlc Cup in Brazil in 2014. Ronaldo did what he does best. A master class in clinical finishing and team leadership was produced from arguably the greatest player ever to play the game as he produced a wonderful hattrick.
