Cristiano Ronaldo-Footballer, Model, and still hot and fit

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, OIH, (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɾɨʃtiˈɐnu ʁuˈnaɫdu]; born 5 February 1985), commonly known as Cristiano Ronaldo, is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a winger or a forward for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and serves as captain of the Portuguese national team. Ronaldo is the most expensive player in football history after moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer deal worth £80 million (€94m, US$132m).

Cristiano RonaldoCristiano Ronaldo1Cristiano Ronaldo2

In addition, his contract with Real Madrid, in which he is to be paid £11 million per year over the following six years, makes him the highest-paid football player in the world. Ronaldo holds the distinction of being the first player to win the FIFA Puskás Award, an honour handed by FIFA to the best goal of the year. He scored that goal from 40 yards out against FC Porto in a UEFA Champions League quarter-final match, while still playing for Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo3

Ronaldo began his career as a youth player for Andorinha, where he played for two years, then moved to Nacional.

Cristiano Ronaldo4

In 1997, he made a move to Portuguese giants Sporting Clube de Portugal. Ronaldo's precocious talent caught the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, and he signed the 18-year-old for £12.24 million in 2003. The following season, Ronaldo won his first club honour, the FA Cup, and reached the Euro 2004 final with Portugal, in which tournament he scored his first international goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo5

In 2008, Ronaldo won the Champions League with United, and was named player of the tournament. He was named the FIFPro World Player of the Year and the FIFA World Player of the Year, in addition to becoming Manchester United's first Ballon d'Or winner in 40 years. Three-time Ballon d'Or winner Johan Cruyff said in an interview on 2 April 2008, "Ronaldo is better than George Best and Denis Law, who were two brilliant and great players in the history of United."

Cristiano Ronaldo6

On 15 June 2010, in Portugal's opening World Cup match against Côte d'Ivoire, Ronaldo was tackled by right-back Guy Demel, which led to an argument and both being booked. The next day, Portugal contacted FIFA to suggest that Ronaldo's yellow card be rescinded since he was "pulled into" the confrontation after having already moved away from the spot where he was tackled, but the appeal was rejected.

Cristiano Ronaldo7

Ronaldo failed to make an impact in the World Cup; after going scoreless in the qualifiers, his only goal came in Portugal's 7–0 group stage thrashing of North Korea on 21 June, which marked his first international goal in 16 months. Portugal were ultimately eliminated by Spain in the Round of 16.

David Beckham

The football world was buzzing last night when David Beckham appeared through the revolving doors of his hotel wearing spectacles.

Looking every inch a geek in his wide horn-rimmed glasses, Becks strolled out for a night on the town with wife Victoria in New York.

This is the first time Beckham, 36, has been seen sporting the 'four-eyed' look, but dressing-room insiders at LA Galaxy have been speculating about his eyesight for some time.

"Becks has been squinting for quite a while now," says former Galaxy star Clint Dempsey, "His crosses have been awry the last season - he never seems to see me when I make a run into the box. To see him in specs isn't a surprise."

David Beckham

A close friend agrees "Becks has been seen around town with a lot of women, but he swears they were all Victoria. If he's having problems with his eyesight, then that would explain a lot."    Top Premiership manager Harry Redknapp remarked, "If David needs glasses then I'm sure there's still a great future for him in the Premiership - as a referee."

Jamie Redknapp

Jamie Frank Redknapp (born 25 June 1973, in Barton on Sea, Hampshire) is a retired English footballer who was active from 1989 until 2005. He is now a football pundit with Sky Sports, and an editorial columnist with the Daily Mail.

In a career that was blighted by a succession of injuries, Redknapp was as famous for his media profile off the field as much as on it. He married the pop singer Louise in 1998.
