TIL 1010 4,718 Posted July 15, 2016 C.Ronaldo 22 hrs · Cristiano Ronaldo has donated his EURO 2016 bonus amount (€275k ) to a kids cancer foundation. He did the same with Champions League bonus. #RESPECTI read a report some months ago about a family trying to raise £50k for an operation for their seriously ill child and they wrote to Ronaldo asking for a signed shirt to help with fundraising and were staggered to receive a cheque for the full £50K.

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 15, 2016 Not only did he pay the £50k for the operation, he paid the regular medical bills associated with the recovery.Not sure if it is still the case, but certainly a couple of years back no sportsman or woman in the world donated more money to good causes than Ronaldo.Compare that to the tax dodging Messi...

Guest Posted July 15, 2016 Didn''t he shave his hair for the Euros in support of a child with cancer too?As much as we love to hate Ronaldo, actions speak louder than words and he seems to do a whole lot more for the disadvantaged than some other footballers do.

GJP 79 Posted July 15, 2016 I''ve held him in high regard for a long time. Yeah he might be a bit of a drama queen on the pitch but there''s no doubt he''s a good man.And one of the best footballers any of us will ever see play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzar 1,702 Posted July 15, 2016 Respect indeed. But if he carries on like that his wallet will be empty... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted July 15, 2016 Watch the Ronaldo documentary film, it''s on Netflix and you will see the real him. Behind the ego there''s quite a generous side to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted July 15, 2016 Agreed, respect to the man, and he doesn''t make a song or dance about it, I can live with his big earnings and egotistical behaviour on the pitch, because of these gestures, # big star # big heart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Renoir 1 Posted July 15, 2016 Yep, don''t care at all how much he earns, it''s a wonderful and very helpful gesture. Good on him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted July 19, 2016 Makes me laugh when Twitter ''experts'' and the like are mocking him and having a laugh when he''s having a bad game. The truth is he''s simply one of the greatest footballers of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
