Brazil's Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, who is considered by many to be one of the greatest football players of all time, turns 39 today.
The former Barcelona, Inter and Real Madrid striker is one of only four players to have won the FIFA World Player of the Year award three times or more and won the Ballon d'Or twice.
In February 2011, Ronaldo announced his retirement from football having amassed 98 caps for Brazil and scoring 62 goals.
In addition to his goalscoring prowess, the Brazilian's playing days are remembered for his passing and crossing ability as well as some unorthadox haircuts.
