David Seaman says Ronaldo is the best he ever played against during his career.

The legendary ex-England, Arsenal and Manchester City goalkeeper came up against numerous footballing legends having played in World Cups, European Championships, the Premier League and the Champions League.

From Manchester United's set-piece magician David Beckham with Arsenal to Selecao legend Rivaldo at the World Cup, Seaman's 22-year long career was littered with superstar opponents.

One man stands out though - and no, despite that Ronaldinho free-kick at the 2002 World Cup, it's his former Brazil teammate that's taken the crown.

Speaking to talkSPORT.com, Seaman said: "The best I played against was Ronaldo the Brazilian.

"He was brilliant. Obviously he was a striker and he was doing different things all the time.

"He was unpredictable. You didn’t know what he was going to do. Was he going to chip it? Place it? Toe poke it?"

Seaman was blown away by how far ahead Ronaldo's game was compared to other strikers he faced, too.

He continued: "He had everything in the game and was doing it way back then. 

"I’ve been retired like 20 years and he was doing it ten years before that as well."
