Cristiano Ronaldo -- the man known as CR7. So while he managed to take his career goals tally to 400 with a double in Real Madrid's 3-0 win over Celta Vigo Monday, it's rather ironic that he has never scored in the seventh minute of a professional football match.

The New Zealand international midfielder, just one game away from leaving Central Coast for a stint in the J-League with old coach Graham Arnold,beats studio, was a deserved hero with a thumping right-foot strike from inside the box deep in injury time in Gosford.
