Ronaldo
It’s not entirely true to say that Ronaldo’s partying destroyed his career. However, they didn’t help and he fell further into indiscipline as his body began to let him down. The Brazilian was the most exciting soccer player on the planet and helped his country to World Cup glory. But his injury record became ridiculous and he failed to recapture his greatness.
Ronaldo gained weight and developed a reputation for partying hard. This wasn’t ideal for his recovery and gradually, his coaches lost patience with him. Finally, the public began referring to him as ‘Fat Ronaldo’ to separate him from the Portuguese superstar, Cristiano. He achieved a lot but could have done so much more (via TalkSport).
