• Sport: Football

2006/2007 PFA Players player, Fans Player and Young Player of the Year, Cristiano Ronaldo made the impact that everyone had been waiting for last season. The young Portugese winger, spurred on by booing and jeering related to the infamous Wayne Rooney incident at the 2006 World Cup, blasted 17 Premiership goals for Manchester United during the previous campaign.

His electrifying pace and impressive stamina make him a defenders worst nightmare as he almost too easily runs rings around the worlds greatest. Despite the summer incident with Wayne Rooney, they linked up on numerous occasions last season to score some memorable goals, including the goal of the season, in a 4 - 0 thrashing of Bolton.

Although often caught up in the controversy of his ease to go to ground, Ronaldo is without a doubt one of the brightest young stars in world football.
