5 Notorious Football Bad Boys And 5 Who Go Against The Grain

4. Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo Now, I know what you€™re thinking, but that€™s not a typo. Even though he can be known as a €œmassive winker€ on the football field, he has become quite the philanthropist off it. Included in the harrowing television footage that followed the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, was the report of an eight-year-old boy wearing a replica Portugal football shirt who€™d been stranded for 19 days after his family had been killed. Following this, Ronaldo himself visited Aceh in order to raise funds for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Indonesian province, auctioning off a ball, a pair of boots and several football kits. Ronaldo has continued to donate toward hospitals and other charitable causes, even reporting to have donated his 2011 Golden Boot to raise £1.5M for Palestinian children in Gaza. However, when giving away some of his own personal items isn€™t enough, Ronaldo is still willing to help, as in the case of 9-year-old Nuhazet from the Canary Islands. Battling cancer since before his second birthday, Nuhazet€™s parents had been told by doctors that there was nothing further they could do for him. This story reached Ronaldo€™s agent, Jorge Mendes, who then arranged for the whole family to visit Ronaldo before Madrid€™s final match of the 2012 season. The next day, the boy was taken to Monteprincipe Hospital where he was put on a new course of treatment, including a personalised drug from the United States, with Ronaldo paying for the medical bills.
