10 Best Cristiano Ronaldo Moments Ever

Many players are approached about donating signed shirts, used boots or any piece of memorabilia that can be sold at auction for charitable reasons. Most are very receptive to the requests and offer anything they can comfortably part with to fund the charitable causes. Ronaldo went further than this.

Not only has Ronaldo put up millions of pounds for those who desperately need financial support to save their loved ones, he has also donated blood on countless occasions and refuses to tattoo his body just in case the ink prevents him from donating more in the future.

Taking his altruism beyond the newspapers, Ronaldo was contacted by a Spanish family who needed to raise £50,000 to pay for their son's brain surgery. They'd asked for some memorabilia to auction to raise funds but Ronaldo simply wrote a cheque and paid for Erik Ortiz Cruz's operation in full.

Not only did the superstar pay for his procedure, he also had his hair cut into the same pattern as the scar Ortiz Cruz would carry as a product of his surgery. Ronaldo maintained the look until the surgery happened but staunchly denies that he had it done at the same time - the operation wasn't scheduled until Cristiano would be on holiday.
