Today football celebrity birthday.... Happy birthday Ronaldo
Welcome to today's episode of today's football celebrity of the day. As usual we celebrate sport celebrity whose birthday falls on this day and I want to say thank you for reading my post from time to time.
Our celebrity for today is a Brazilian who played as a striker during his time as a footballer, he was born on the 18th of September 1976 and today marks his 42nd birthday celebration. He is definitely one of the most successful footballers in the history of football.
He is no other person than Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima. I know the complete name doesn't ring a bell but we all know Ronaldo. He was popularly known for his fantastic scoring and dribbling ability. The striker started his youth career in 1990 and ended it in 1993 with São Cristóvão.
His senior career started in 1993 with Cruzeiro where he had 14 appearances and scored 12 goals. Between 1993 and his retirement he played for top clubs like PSV, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Ac Milan, Real Madrid and Corinthians. He had 343 club appearances and scored 247 goals in total and I believe that is a got stat for a striker.
At the national level, he played with the Brazilian U17, U23 and the senior national squad.
At the club level he won 14 trophies at the club level and 8 trophies for his country which includes 2 FIFA world cup. As an individual, he has won 66 personal Awards.
Happy birthday Ronaldo.
