Nearing the end of a Legendary career

[LeTallecWiz]

Ronaldo (the original) announced today that the 2010-11 season will be his last.

What a career this lad had ... Injuries robbed him the last few years of a chance to get more goals, but even without that, he still amongst the best to ever play the game. Top 5 of all time I'd say.

Thought this was gonna be about Ryan..........*walks off deflated*

 

[Sunny]

Ace player Wizzy. Top drawer. 340 goals in 482 games. Amazing goal per game ratio.

 

[Squiggles]

He's certainly right up there with the very best.

Glad he stayed away from the English league, because we never could have afforded him.

*sad*

If Klose gets 6 goals at the World Cup, he'll overtake Ronaldo's record.

*prays for Klose to have a 'mare*

Oh, he's up front with Pele in my all-time 11.

 

[Judge Jules]

Apparently he's saying he still has designs on a place in their WC squad.

If you're including Pele then what about Puskas, Muller, etc?

If he plays, he scores, it's that simple.

Dunga won't pick him.

*sad again*

Is it your all-time 11 or mine ?

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Point taken.

 

[Oncy]

Schmeical
Maldini
Hansen
Hyppia
Cafu

Barnes
Gerrard
Zidane
Totti

Maradona
Dalglish.

Obviously that's a fucked up team with no balance and no number 9 but fuck it, it's probably my all time best 11.

One of my favourite players and defo one of the best of all time.

He's won relatively few medals at club level (and never the CL). Shame.

The 2 WC winners medals will probably take the sting off a bit.

If he stays healthy and has a good run in Brazil, I think he can make it. He's still such a wonderful finisher. Wouldn't that be a great end to a career? Hoist up the trophy for a 3rd time?
