Iconic Moments
Fat Ronaldo
The moniker 'Fat Ronaldo' was given to him by some, and while it might be true, we think it's massively disrespectful. He has done so much for the game, and it is juvenile to scrutinize an aspect of his life when he was not doing too well. Thankfully, he didn't have any weight-related issues when he was at the peak of his career. He enthralled everyone with his amazing ability to combine positional versatility and lethal finishing from inside the box. He did what no one before him had ever done, and for that reason, we'll overlook his issues with the scale. (Image: imgur.com)
Mr. Horrible Hair
We're not going to cut him any slack for this abomination of a haircut. If there was one thing that made the 2002 World Cup worse than it already was, it was this haircut. We were in complete shock when he showed up to the tournament sporting this look. (Image: imgur.com)
Lucky haircut?
Maybe the bug from Paris 1998 crawled into his brain and hindered his ability to come to a rational decision, or maybe he consulted a shaman or someone like that and thought this haircut was a lucky charm? We got to witness this horror, but he did manage to secure the World Cup for Brazil in 2002. So the joke's on us? (Image: imgur.com)
Injury Prone
Although he was a great talent, his career has been plagued by numerous injuries. His knees, in particular, were very vulnerable. In fact, it was his injuries the stopped him from achieving all-time greatness. He was everything that you wanted in a striker, and everything you thought didn't exist before you saw him. But for the injuries. (Image: imgur.com)
Fit?- He's not!
Pele is probably laughing at him for the bad haircut, but deep down, it could be because he thought the Phenomenon was not a fit player. No one will ever know why. What if he had remained fit, what if he didn't suffer all those injuries? What else would the real Ronaldo, the OG, have done? (Image: imgur.com)

Audi
That was the Audi that he got when he was with Real Madrid. He doesn't seem impressed. Maybe the German manufacturer was not up to his standards. (Image: imgur.com)
