Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima simply known as Ronaldo "The Phenomenon", was born on September 22, 1976 in Bento Ribeiro, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. Ronaldo's incredible talents were apparent at a very young age. He began playing at the Rio club Sao Cristovao at the age of 15. The talented striker quickly turned international by 17. As a member of the World Cup Brazil squad in 1994, in only two years, he scored 54 goals in 57 games. After that brilliant performance, Barcelona scooped him up. He went on and won the 1996 and 1997 Player of the Year awards, making that signature worth every cent to the Catalan club. Ronaldo then had some bad luck. France beat them out of the 1998 FIFA World Cup and in 1999 he ruptured a tendon in his right knee. He then re-injured it six months later. Check out Bodog and start winning NOW!
