REAL Madrid striker Ronaldo is well-known
for scoring on the pitch - now he's been hailed for scoring off the
pitch too.
A former girlfriend of the Brazilian says he has the passion of six
gorillas as a lover - whatever that means.
Beauty queen Fabiola Francois went out with him for a year - and is
preparing to write a steamy book about her sizzling relationship with
the Samba star.
'Ronaldo was a sex machine,' the 22-year-old said.
'He wanted me all the time - he had the passion of six gorillas rolled
into one.
'He invited me to spend a season with him in Madrid. Afterwards I
returned to Brazil and we continued our romance from afar, but the
distance cooled our ardour.
'He used to phone me every day, and begged me not to forget him. He is
the tenderest man I have ever known.'
Ronaldo's legal team are now poring over early transcripts of the book
entitled 'The Phenomenon - An Ordinary Guy'.
Fabiola said: 'I am sure Ronaldo will enjoy the book. I want the whole
world to know what he is like - a marvellous, simple man who throws
himself madly into relationships.'
