Cristiano Ronaldo

His second name, Ronaldo, is relatively rare in Portugal. His parents named him after former US president Ronald Reagan, for whom his father had a lot of respect. Cristiano was called Kluivert as a kid (from the Dutch football player, Patrick Kluivert).

If Cristiano could choose a person he would like to meet, it would be Mike Tyson.

When Cristiano was a kid, his favourite football team was S.L. Benfica.

Cristiano likes going for walks, going to the cinema, listening to music and sometimes just being on his own.

Cristiano’s football hero as a kid was the legend, Diego Maradona.

If Cristiano had to pick one of Charlie’s Angels, he would pick Dylan Sanders (played by Drew Barrymore).

He appears on the cover of the video game FIFA Street 2.

He was named the sexiest player of Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006 by “Gay Krant”, a Dutch gay magazine.

He is a sócio (member) of his hometown team, CS Marítimo, the team he now supports.

Cristaino Ronaldo's quotes

I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United. I was saluted by Alex Ferguson when I was subbed and that made me very happy.

I would be very proud if, one day, I’m held in the same esteem as George Best or Beckham. It’s what I’m working hard towards.

I’m living a dream I never want to wake up from.

Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can’t it happen to me? I’m not worried I’m young – it’s an incentive to do the best I can.

Now we’re in the final we must win, and can’t think the job is over. We’ll give everything and we’re convinced we can do it.

The No 7 shirt is an honour and a responsibility. I hope it brings me a lot of luck.

“I want to be one of the best players around in two or three years’ time.

I would be very proud if, one day, I’m held in the same esteem as George Best or Beckham. It’s what I’m working hard towards.”

“The No 7 shirt is an honour and a responsibility. I hope it brings me a lot of luck.

I’ve decided that when I make my debut in the Premiership I will keep my shirt and ask Beckham to sign it at a later date.

I don’t think it’s by chance I have been given it. I’ve got to keep my feet on the ground but perhaps I’m predestined to succeed.

Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can’t it happen to me? I’m not worried I’m young — it’s an incentive to do the best I can.

I’m living a dream I never want to wake up from.

I knew United were tracking various Sporting players but I never figured I would be the one chosen.

I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United.”

“I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world, and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join Manchester United. I look forward to helping the team achieve even more success in the years to come.”
