Description

Cristiano Ronaldo: The Ultimate Fan Book gives a unique insight into the life and career of the 2013 FIFA World Footballer of the Year, Cristiano Ronaldo. Filled with facts and stats, and 100 stunning photographs, you will learn about his childhood, growing up on the small island of Madeira, joining Sporting Clube in the Portuguese capital Lisbon, before lighting up the European stage, with starring roles for Manchester United and Real Madrid. He displays outstanding skill, devastating pace, fantastic ball control and incredible power shooting with either foot. All in all, few contemporaries can match his talents. Written in a lively, buzzing style and filled with fun features, fantastic photographs and enlightening quotes, Cristiano Ronaldo: The Ultimate Fan Book celebrates the Portuguese maestro's early life - he was named in honour of former US President Ronald Reagan - and his career on and off the pitch. All in all, this is a highly entertaining insight into a football legend.
