Today is the 27th birthday of one of the most talented and most respected footballers in the game today. Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite's (aka Kaka') strong morals, brilliant scoring and playmaking on the field, and his adorable family make a place for Kaka' in all our hearts.
Kaka' may appear flawless now, but he was not had a simple life. In a middle class family from Brasilia, Brazil, his life was never going to be difficult. Or so it seemed. In 2001, Kaka' had an accident diving into a pool and was paralyzed. This seemed to end his career before it really got going, and we never would know Kaka' as we do.
Luckily for the world, he made a full recovery and went on to a marvelous career filled with AC Milan, a FIFA World Player of the Year Award, a Golden Ball. He also married Caroline Celico and they now have a young son: Luca. Kaka's favorite drink is water and his favorite book is the bible. These favourites represent Kaka' perfectly, as the reliable, wholesome, brilliant, talented, and wonderful person he is. He is a true role-model.
Happy Birthday!
