Ronaldo was advised to retire after his 2 year injury. Numerous operations but he never gave up.

Rest is history...

NEVER GIVE UP!

Greatest player ever, what a legend!!

@chelsea8 yeah, I'll never forget seeing him, Zidane and Figo live in action. amazing players

@gennady those were the days man, real men playing great entertaining football. These days everyone dives.

Monstrously talented. I would be shocked to ever see another player as magnificently talented as he was. If it wasn't for his injuries there would be no doubt in my mind that he would be the greatest footballer in history.
