This book explains Ronaldo`s life on and off the pitch
This book is GREAT! It explains Ronaldo`s footballing life and his personal, and public life, and many secrets only a few on the earth know.

An amazingly gripping story of the Football God of the 90's!
Ever since the final whistle of the World Cup final I have had a big unanswered question. Why did the world's best player in the world's best team play so badly in the one game, the most important game, of his life sofar, giving one of the world's worst performances in front of the world'sbiggest ever event audience of 2 billion.Months before the world cup thepapers were full of Ronaldo. How Ronaldo would score more goals than everseen before. How this would be his world cup like Pele's 1970, Kempes'1978, Rossi's 1982, Maradona's 1986, and Romario's 1994. TV Programmesshowed endless clips of his sublime skills, his genius. Months after thetragedy that was France '98. No credible explanation has appeared untilnow!! Clarkson's book to answer thequestion of what happened on thatfateful day in Paris.He gives a complete picture of what makes up the man -Ronaldo. Clarkson delves into Ronaldo's childhood, giving an account of theearly flashes of brilliance, his love of the game, his disappointments, theinfluence of his family andeven his lack of confidence with girls. Thenhe takes us through Ronaldo's early career in a lowly 2nd divisionBrazillian League team. Then the breakthrough and subsequent move to Europefollowed by stardom and megabucks. Then we are told of the trials andtribulations of his life in Europe. The immense build up to the World cupand the account of what actually happened to Ronaldo's Brazil. I mustconfess I did not let the book go until i had read in from cover to cover.Clarkson has a lovely smooth flowingly style of writing which captures theessence of the story. After reading the book I felt i had understood one ofthe most intriguing mysteries of footballing history. ... Read more

Product Description
Cristiano Ronaldo is the world famous Manchester United and Portuguese International footballer, admired around the world for his unique style of play. Football fans recognise instantly how he dribbles the ball, but there's a great deal about him that has never been made public before. Cristiano recognises that his youth does not yet give him the right to produce an autobiography, and "Moments" does not set out to be one. It is an invitation to the reader to share with him some of the most fantastic moments of his career so far, and get to know him a little better. As well as an array of sumptuous photographs Cristiano Ronaldo gives his thoughts about his life so far, both on and off the pitch."Moments" relates the story of his love of football from early childhood in Madeira; the homesickness he suffered as a result of the move, aged 12, to a football academy in Lisbon; through to his time with Manchester United, the club which has really made him famous and turned him into a football idol at only 22 years of age. He speaks of his love of playing for his country and the love and support of his family, as well as the sad moments in his life such as the death of his father.The book also shows glimpses of him training and enjoying his leisure time, the charity work he involves himself in, as well as off-field activities in both his professional capacity and for pleasure. He hopes that through these stories, and beautiful photographs by Jorge Monteiro, you will get to know Cristiano Ronaldo a little better. As you finish reading the last line he also trusts you will have enjoyed the book with the same enthusiasm you would get from watching him play football. ... Read more

CR7 for Life
When i first ordered this book I was exspecting a book about facts, scores, and championships about Cristino Rolnaldo. I was wrong...... It is basically a picture book, and no it's not a bad thing. The pictures are high quality and the pages are slick and glossy. I read the book immediately.

The book is really interesting and talks about his life and events. The places he has visited and stuff he likes to do. It even has little stuff like his favorite type of movies. Its horror I wouldn't have thought that. Also he talks about his home life and training. He goes to bed from 11-12 at night and wakes up at 6 not alot of time to sleep for a proffesional soccer player.

Its a good book and he says later on in his life he will make a bigger and more complete book about his life. But for now this is probabally the best book out on the market and it's definately worth a read.

CR28- Sporting Libson
CR7- Manchester
CR9- Real Madrid
CR7- Back to the number 7 2011 season number
Hopefully a good season this year!!!!!!
CR7 for Life

love it
i love the book. i am a christiano fan and finding his book made me happy. it wasnt long since i order it that i hot the book

Great book about a great soccer player!
Yesterday I received "Moments", and I must say that it is a great book!!!

I guess the first thing you notice is that it's a big book with all the pages printed on high quality glossy paper, and it's full of fantastic photos.

Ronaldo himself has said that he is too young yet to write a real autobiography, and therefore "Moments" is not just the usual write-up of dates, facts and numbers that many footballers sell as books these days. Instead, he decided to share some of the events that happened in his life so far by writing short stories and adding numerous pictures.

From his early years playing for Sporting Lissabon to winning the Premier Leage with Manchester United, from childhood dreams to his father's death, from being named captain of the Portuguese National Team to everyday routine ... this book provides a very nice glimpse into the life and mind of one of the best footballers in the world today. He certainly seems to have his head (and heart) in the right place!

All of Cristianos fans will also love this book for the countless great (and previously unpublished) photos!!! ... Read more
