At 33 most players are still playing at their best. Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima has been struggling with injuries for 10 years. Yet I consider him to be the best player ever, better than Pele and better than Maradona. Why? Because despite practically playing with one knee, he managed 348 goals in 503 club matches and 62 goals in 97 international matches. Because after being practically sidelined for 18 months, he came back and scored 8 goals in 7 matches in the 2002 World Cup, which Brazil won. Because after all this time and all the money he has earned he keeps coming back to do what he loves most. Score goals.
