World class he was, easily one of the top 5 strikers of all time.
 
it is too pitty that everybody calls him "the fat ronaldo" he is a great player and for me he will always be "EL FENOMENO"
 
Agree with OP I think he carried on a little longer than he should have. But to still play after all he's been through is rather impressive aswell. Sure hes fat now but even fat I reckon he'd still tear some of the defenders today apart.

sorry to correct you but he didnt win a champs league, but my fav player of all time,


He was a true legend and was not just great becasue of his goal scoring his ability to beat a opponent was thrilling to watch. on the note with roberto carlos, is it jsut me but when i watch the brazil of now compared to back then i dont feel the same way about them , in that i feel they are a good team but nothing special.

Same here mate, Don't think brazil are the team they were it's the same as France without zidane they're just not the same.

Does everyone saying that he was the best striker ever think he was better than Pele, I take it?

Also, what do you guys think about his legacy vs. C. Ronaldo's? If C. Ronaldo keeps on playing as well as he has until his early 30's, will he be remembered to have been just as good? I missed Ronaldo's best years unfortunately since I got into the sport rather late in life. :(

Meh Im a massive C.Ronaldo fan and I love him to pieces and yes he's one of the best at what he does and he will be remembered for being a great but he will also be remembered for some of his diving antics where as Ronaldo was never that kind of guy he just simply put that ball in the net in some spectacular fashion.

C.Ronaldo is one of my Idols however There truly is only one Ronaldo. call him what you may but no one can take anything away from him he has earned his right to put on a few pounds. True legend hope he does well in the future whatever he chooses to do.

Yeah he probably deserved the real "Ronaldo" nickname. Rather than Cristina
 
**** shame how it's ended, what with the Corinthians affair going sour after failing to qualify for the Copa Libertadores.

Truly one of the greatest players of all time, a **** of an accomplishment when significant injuries always seemed to hamper him at his peak.

So you're gona remember him as being fat and useless? What a ridiculous thing to say.

Best striker football has ever seen, the real ronaldo.

no I meant many people will remember him that way which would be unfortunate.
 
The ONE best player I know.. Legend of the game.. True Complete Player..
 
Truly incredible player.

His record speaks for itself. People can deny it all they want, but it changes nothing.

Best striker of his generation, and perhaps the best overall player.
 
Absolute legend, would have loved to see him play in the Premiership but it never came about. Probably the best striker I've ever seen play.
 
The first player I knew when I was young.
For me, he's at a higher class than c.ronaldo or messi, and was absolutely unstoppable with his trademark stepovers and feints followed by a thunderous shot.

Although he was a real legend, he is not commonly regarded as the best striker ever.

That crown goes to Pele, Di Stefano or Henrik Larson in my opinion...

I started to read your post was agreeing. Pele - amazing. De Stefano - amazing. Larsson - ...


Pele and Di Stafono both terrific strikers along with Ronaldo but to put Henrik Larson up there with them is crazy. Ridiculous.
 
by this the world of football will lose one of the greatest player...thank you Ronaldo!!!

Are you kidding man? He was a legend, he is a legend and he will be a legend. We all love him and we all miss him.

Henrik Larsson?.. Lol

To even put him in the same sentence as them is odd, nevermind to regard his as one of the greatest strikers of all time
 
Man, that guy was unstoppable at his prime. Just watching him get past all the defenders and score in a spectacular way was just amazing. Easily one of the best strikers the world has ever seen, although in my opinion Pele was better, but then again I have never seen him play..
