Sonoftherock Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7244079.stm Has suffered another long term knee injury. Very sad news. What a fantastic player he was in his day.... I remember tuning into football Italia on Channel 4 years ago, always hoping Inter would be the featured game so i could catch a glimpse of this football genius in full flow. 1993-1994 Cruzeiro 13 (12)1994-1996 PSV Eindhoven 46 (42)1996-1997 FC Barcelona 37 (34)1997-2002 Inter Milan 69 (49)2002-2007 Real Madrid 127 (83)2007- Present A.C. Milan 16 (9) National team1994-2006 Brazil 97 (62) .... For a player that spend most of his career on the treatment table, those are astonishing career goalscoring stats! And he's still the record goalscorer in the history of the world cup finals! His hat-trick at Old trafford in the Champions league a number of year ago will live long in my memory - he was absolutely awesome that day. Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Being spoke about on SSN now. Seems a really bad one and could be the end for him. Doubt he'll be the same player again if he comes back from it. Link to comment
OneZanderDiamond Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Shame, hope this isn't the end for him Link to comment
robbo Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 hopefully one day well find out what really happened at the france 98 final Link to comment
Guest GoldFinger Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Recently he has not been the player that he was, slow etc and thought he was poor at the last World Cup - those stats are amazing though, I had no idea he was banging them in at Milan like that! Real shame that this has happened, best player in the world when I was growing up! Link to comment
OneZanderDiamond Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Seedorf doesn't think it looks good Link to comment
Scarface Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 What the frigg is going on with his hair-do? lol Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Ronaldo at his best with Barcelona.... His raw pace and power was absolutely awesome! At the top of his game, I believe he was the most devasting playing of his generation. Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 What a goal that first one was The sudden burst of acceleration that takes him clear of the defenders is incredible.... he was a fine specimen in his day! Link to comment
Guest glasgowdon Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Does anyone think he stopped caring? The determination for those goals was incredible. People say he was lazy at Real Madrid but look at those stats. Link to comment
minijc Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 The sudden burst of acceleration that takes him clear of the defenders is incredible.... he was a fine specimen in his day! The first 3 goals are amazing, must have been very very scary knowing you were away to play against him back then as a defender, look at the third goal, he wasna even favourite to get the ball let alone score.

Holyjoe Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Perhaps he'll finally complete that move to Rangers, eleven years after it was first proposed... knee should be dodgy enough now to guarantee a three year contract. Link to comment
swaddon Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Perhaps he'll finally complete that move to Rangers, eleven years after it was first proposed... knee should be dodgy enough now to guarantee a three year contract. Exactly what I was thinking. Or he'll end up at Newcastle. Link to comment
archiemacdougal Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 What the frigg is going on with his hair-do? lol Looks like Derek Young! Link to comment
fifered Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Perhaps he'll finally complete that move to Rangers, eleven years after it was first proposed... knee should be dodgy enough now to guarantee a three year contract. Did they not offer him a deal where he could pick whatever game he wanted to play in? Magic. Link to comment
sheepshagger89 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Looks like Derek Young! spotted in liquid last night along with mackie!! mackie's dancing is worse than his finishing! Link to comment
