The Golden Foot award that was presented to Ronaldo Luis Nazário de Lima on 28 August was just another accolade to add to the Brazilian forward's long list of honours. In fact, Real Madrid's number “9” is one of the football world's most decorated players, and this latest achievement is yet another to add to the neverending list of individual and team trophies.

Speaking of Ronaldo means speaking of success. The Brazilian forward has been given a gift, and everything he does is done well, translating into awards and honours. The latest achievement was the Golden Foot award in recognition of his career in sports. However, it wasn't the only award won by the Brazilian superstar, one of the best footballers in the world.
Ronaldo is one of the most heralded footballer players in the history of the sport, and he has won all kinds of awards. Two Golden Balls, three-time FIFA World Player of the Year, and one Golden Boot are just a few honours the Fenomenon has achieved throughout his career. He has been the top scorer in the Spanish League on two occasions, and was also the top scorer of the 2002 World Cup in Korea afte recovering from a serious knee injury and scoring eight goals. Those eight goals, plus the four he scored in the 2002 French World Cup and the three in the recent German World Cup, make Ronaldo the all-time top scorer in World Cup competition with 15 goals, passing Germany's Gerd Müller, who had held the record with 14.
