Ronaldo's story is a classic. He was born on the idyllic island of Madeira that lies hundreds of miles south of Portugal in the North Atlantic Ocean. He was raised in a tin shack in Funchal, the main city on the island. His dad was the equipment coach of the local team Andorinha, and Ronaldo played for the youth team on an artificial pitch.
 
 
 
 

 


Cristiano Ronaldo was born on the 5th of February 1985 on the Portuguese island of Madeira.  Cristiano Ronaldo has one brother and two sisters.

At the age of twelve he was scouted by the big clubs in Portugal but he chose to play for Sporting, the club he had always supported.

At 17 Cristiano Ronaldo played his first game against Moreirense and it was a dream debut. He played well and scored two goals, and he soon became one of the fan’s favourites. During and after the u-17 European Championships he was watched closely by many of the top European clubs such as Liverpool and Juventus. And after his first season in Sporting, the Portuguese club couldn’t hold on to him any longer and his change to Manchester United in the Premier League became a reality.
