Ronaldo Faces 'fan Assault' Claim

Soccer: An Everton fan claims Cristiano Ronaldo indulged in a spot of tap dancing on his arm during last Saturday's game at Goodison Park.
Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo is at the center of an official police probe after an Everton fan claimed his arm was stamped on during a match.

Colin Lloyd, who works as a joiner, claims he has been unable to work since the alleged incident. "I've been 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."

Mr Lloyd alleges the incident happened during the Premier League match between United and Everton as he leaned over the advertising hoardings to retrieve the ball when it went out of play.

Merseyside police today confirmed Mr Lloyd has made an official complaint and they are speaking to witnesses and studying CCTV to establish precisely what happened.
