Personally, I've always thought great player, bit of a vain, shallow cock. But heard a few stories recently about his generosity with his time and money.
If this link is true, then what a great gesture.

IMO he is the best player in the World and despite agreeing with you that he comes across as vain and shallow I still can;t help but like him and I definitely would haha.
Very kind and
Well done, him. :cool: And well done also for leading by example and utilising his huge following to unite behind him.

He's a really nice guy. Fergie still talks about him as if he's his son and that's quite something considering how difficult it is to gain and keep Fergie's respect.
He might be vain and a bit flash but everything I hear about him off the pitch makes me really like him. He has a good heart.
And like it or not, he is an amazing footballer. People may perceive it as arrogance but to stand out in your chosen field you have to have unshakeable self-belief and focus...which he obviously does. I think he is totally dedicated to his craft and that is why, as mentioned by a previous poster, Fergie still has so much time for him.
He has the world at his feet and he spends his time and money making a difference - compare him to the 'talented' (if you like boxing) but absolutely repugnant Floyd Mayweather.
I know it isn't a popular opinion but I like Ronaldo and think a lot of our footballers could learn a thing or two from him on how to conduct themselves as sportsmen in the public eye.
Lovely post I didn't have a clue how far his generosity went. It's great to hear and something to throw in the face of those who moan about him 'diving' and being 'too vain'. I too think he's an excellent footballer and this makes me like him even more.
I'd agree with pretty much all that, yes flash and vain, but a bloody brilliant footballer who stays at the top through hard work and not wasting his talents - his off the pitch endeavours of blood and bone marrow donation, plus the championing the causes to his followers will make a difference and are to be admired, and yes, give me this young chap over the disgraceful and, words that would get me banned, Floyd Mayweather
Good on him.
