Cristiano Ronaldo, during his Premier League days, was a young monster. A winger converted into a goalscoring machine, Ronaldo terrorized Premier League defenses on a weekly basis.

Unearthing his massive hidden potential will go down as one of Sir Alex Ferguson's greatest ever achievements. He won the league thrice in Manchester; and is also the most recent recipient of the Ballon d'Or from the Premier League. He will go down as one of the greatest in footballing history. He even won the Champions League in 07-08.

Robert Pires, a two-time title winner with Arsenal, an integral part of the Invincibles, and Arjen Robben, a two-time title winner with Chelsea are the only two who can stake a claim for the position. The truth is that neither of them come close to filling the shoes of the great man.

A winner of multiple Ballon D'ors, Ronaldo changed the English game completely.

He is arguably the greatest player ever to grace the English game.
