When I first saw him play for United against Bolton I knew we had a great player, but over the years he frustrated me a lot as he tried to do everything himself but then he just seemed to step up to the next level and has just got better ever since. One hell of a talent, and is the best player I've had the pleasure to see on the pitch. After that game at Bolton for us, I got a United shirt from the store with his name on the back, was the last United shirt I bought as well.

The last act of truly special management by Ferguson to take the lads obvious raw materials and work and work with him until he became the player he is. Lots of managers will win titles few can do what Alex could with certain players.

Loved Roy Keane talking about him giving John O Shea the headspins when he was marking him in that pre season friendly. Keane was also never in doubt about Ronaldo's dedication to training and improving himself even though he was so cocky and in love with his reflection.
