Ronaldo had a magnificent 2007/08 season, scoring 42 goals for Manchester United, and capturing the Premier League, Champions League and European Golden Boot. The winger also helped make his side, Manchester United Club World Champions in Yokohama, Japan last month.



The 23-year-old Cristiano becomes the first player from England's Premier League to be named FIFA World Player of the Year, and only the second Portuguese, following in the footsteps of Luis Figo, who triumphed in 2001. Cristiano Ronaldo has previously also picked up the prestigious Ballon d'Or (European Footballer of the Year) and World Soccer magazine's player of the year award.

"It is an overwhelming moment, a very special moment in my life," the new World Player of the Year said. "I would like to say to my mother and sister that the fireworks can be fired off now."

Playboy Cristiano Ronaldo


Cristiano Ronaldo did not mention any girlfriend, but he leads the life of a playboy. Ronaldo's most recent girlfriend was the sexy Letizia Filippi:



The World Player of the Year is also a player in the field of sex and romance, as he wooed the former Miss Italy with flowers, dinner invites, and raunchy SMS messages. In fact playboy Ronaldo was doing this while still with his previous girlfriend, Spanish beauty Nereida Gallardo. And now it seems Cristiano has also moved on from the Italian nude model....he was reportedly having an affair with married Ukranian beauty Olena Haynes.

Cristinao Ronaldo almost made it to the list of Sports Players in trouble, after crashing his more than £200000 sports car. The red Ferrari 599 GTB sports car was completely wrecked after it bumped on a roadside barrier and then crashed into a wall inside the 50mph zone tunnel under Manchester Airport.
