Cristiano Ronaldo has started a search to find some McDonald's employees who used to give him food as a youngster.
Ronaldo moved to Lisbon as a young boy to pursue his footballing dreams and recalled the time when he used to ask some girls at McDonald's for food.
"When I was a kid, 11 or 12 years old, we didn't have any money," he told ITV.
"We lived in the same place [in Lisbon] that the other players did. The younger players.
"I saw my family [in Madeira] every three months. It was hard. A very hard period without the family.
"Late at night, 10:30 or 11:00, we are a little bit hungry. So, we had a McDonald's next to the stadium where we lived. And we always go to the back door and knocked on the door: 'hey, any burgers left?'
"And Edna and two more girls, they were unbelievable.
"I never found the girls again. I speak with some people in Portugal to try to find where the girls are, because I don't find them.
"They closed that McDonald's. But I hope this interview will help to find these girls. I will be so happy, because I want to invite [Edna] to come to Turin or Lisbon, to come to my house and have dinner with me.
"I want to find these girls. To give something back because that period I appreciate so much. I never forgot that moment."

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to find the ladies who used to slip him left over McDonald’s as a child... I don’t care what people say, the guy has shown more humility than most pro athletes

C. Ronaldo is the best, but G.higuain is the one who broke the toy C.Rolando, I watched the live ATM vs juventus broadcast, last night, I saw a lot of opportunities for the ball to slip from G.higuain, G.higuain is fitting for C.Ronaldo, but G.Higuain is indeed not able to use it, you see his toys when he was loaned to Chelsea, he continued to die there, if I am a club manager, I do not want G.Higuain, so he can move from Juventus, G.Higuain is indeed not able to use, I was furious about G.Higuain's toys, right at the beginning of the beginning, although it was not without his own goal being netted, why not match the ball with C.Ronaldo, yes maybe G.Higuain did not need victory but needed defeat, G. Higuain shouldn't joined the C.Rolando team, he only unifies the name C.Ronaldo as the world's best player ...
