Cristiano Ronaldo Allegedly Puts the Boot in to an Everton Fan

By: Bob | September 17th, 2007

cron-everton.jpgIf you watched the Manchester United and Everton game this weekend you saw Cristiano Ronaldo struggle with his form after returning from a three-game suspension and in the process get booked for diving. What you might not have seen is the Man U stud laying his studs into the arm of an Everton fan. At least that is what the fan in question, Carl Lloyd, alleges happened away from the cameras.

Lloyd says he was merely leaning over the advertising boards to retrieve a ball when CR7 put the boot in.

Last night he told us that he feared the arm had been broken – putting his livelihood at risk.

Carl, from Wallasey, Merseyside, told us: “I’m in excruciating pain. I don’t know if I’ll work again any time soon.

“I couldn’t believe what happened. All I was doing was trying to retrieve the ball and then this happened.

“He had a bad day on the pitch now he’s given me a bad day.

“It was a stamp on my arm and the pain is all the way from my knuckle to my elbow. There are stud marks as well. The whole length of the bone is in agony and it has swelled right up. I wouldn’t be surprised if it hadn’t been broken in a few places.”

Lloyd has reported the incident to the police who are investigating the matter. No word yet whether Ronaldo plans to make amends by inviting him to one of his house parties.

    Seeing that picture above makes me think… Ronaldo: “How the hell was I supposed to know that you actually TIP hookers?” Everton dude whose name I couldn’t care less about: “Well, I personally give 15%… 20 if they’ve got both arms and legs in the right spots.”

    Glad they booked CRon for diving … he doesn’t get called nearly enough for it.

    If there “are” stud marks, why isn’t there any newspaper with a picture of them? Broken, … yeah right!

    Or why do they even have to do a research when there are stud marks?
