Among his collection was the prestigious Ballon d'Or award, which caught Speed's attention immediately.
In the video clip, Speed was overwhelmed with disbelief and extremely elated when Ronaldo allowed him to hold the iconic trophy.

His performances caught the attention of European clubs, and in 1996 he made a high-profile move to PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
He continued to impress with his goal-scoring prowess, and after just one season, he was signed by Barcelona.
He also had a successful stint at Real Madrid forming a deadly attacking partnership with fellow superstar Zinedine Zidane.
