Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on February 5, 1985, in Madeira, Portugal to Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro and José Diniz Aveiro. Cristiano has an elder brother, Hugo and two elder sisters, Elma and Liliana Cátia. His name was inspired by the former US-president, Ronald Reagan, whom his father was influenced by.
The island of Madeira was also the place where Cristiano first learned to master his skills as a soccer player. He spent his early years playing for his local team, Nacional, and by the time he turned 12 years old, he already made his name for himself as one of Madeira's top soccer player. It wasn't long before he started to catch the attention of other big Portuguese clubs.

Neymar is far from the first Brazilian to dazzle the world with goals and flair, he is just simply the latest. Neymar is now preparing to have his name mentioned a long with some of the Before Neymar there was Ronaldinho, who thrilled fans with his creativity and ability to score from distance. Before Ronaldinho there was Ronaldo, who in his heyday was arguably the greatest striker who ever lived. Of course, the first Brazilian to bless the planet with his great ability was Pele, the man many consider to be the best player to ever play the game.
There's a certain individual with plenty of making up to do, and he goes by the name of Wayne Rooney. The unwanted ramifications of the England forward's crass stupidity in swearing into a TV camera after scoring at West Ham were plain for all to see at Wembley as a Rooney-less Manchester United slid to defeat to their local rivals City to extinguish hopes of repeating their 1999 treble.
United simply aren't the same side without their talismanic star, who was forced to watch from the sidelines as he
completed his two-match suspension for the ill-advised four-letter rant. How it showed in the 1-0 set-back.
