  He was my favorite player when I played, lmao.

  My 2nd favorite player to Baggio. He is definitely the best player I have watched though.

  Before reading the article I thought that it was a shocking move. He could have come to the MLS and made a nice payday before retiring. Yet after reading, he must be in some serious pain.

  For me, over the last 20 years:
  
  1. Zinadine Zidane
  2. Ronaldo
  3. Luis Figo
  4. Paolo Maldino
  5. Lionel Messi/Rivaldo/Cristiano Ronaldo/Henry/Nedved (Messi will likely top them all in time)
  
  He was just an unreal talent! Unbeleivable foot skills for a forward, the type you typically only see out of an attacking midfielder. Then the touch around the goal that is top of the class. Just so fun to watch, I miss his glory days. Which brings me to my next question...which Ronaldo do you take?
  
  Barcelona?
  Inter?
  Madrid?
  PSV?
  
  Id probably say his best year(s) were with Barcelona or first 10 with Brazil...Followed by PSV and then a toss up between Inter and Madrid.
  Brazil?

  You'd def have to take his Barcelona days or 1998 (before the final of course) and 2002 World Cup's as his best days. But for me his hat trick at old trafford will always live in my memory.
