MUFC Tanzania: Throw Back Thursday: Red Devils Away Edition 1.3

1. Cristiano 'CR7' Ronaldo

Where do we begin with Cris? A friendly against Sporting Lisbon which left Rio breathless from all the running that he ended up asking SAF to sign the kid. At 18 he signed for the best club in the world and was given the biggest responsibility of all in name the of Number 7. CR7 was born!

From 2003 to 2009, Ronaldo had one mission in his mind, winning. And boy did he win!!  A part from the trophies he won with the club, Cris enjoyed a good number of personal awards and records. Most notably was the 2006/2007 season where he made quite a collection with; PFA Players' Player of the year, PFA Fans' Player of the Year, PFA Young Player of the Year, FWA  Footballer of the Year, Barclays Players of the Year, Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year, Portuguese Footballer of the Year. He simply won almost everything there was to be won.

Cristiano is still in the hearts of Red Devils. Playing against MUFC on February, he was cheered with MUFC fans on the stands and you could see some banners urging the player to come back home. SAF dismissed rumors that MUFC is considering buying back Cris while players, fans and legends and Sir Bobby Charlton and me all publicly expressed our desires to see CR7 in Red, Black and White.

And the feelings (the love part) are mutual. CR7 has declared his love and gratitude for MUFC and especially SAF who he says has been like a father to him. For the coming back home, he said he is happy with his current club. But then, it is football, anything can happen.

CR7 has won 9 club trophies with MUFC which include 3 Premiership, 1 FA, 2 Football League, 1 FA Community Shield, 1 Champions League and 1 FIFA Club World Cup.

Cris is now playing for Real Madrid.
