Studdy Hell!

...Another twaddle article lol!

Footie star Cristiano Ronaldo is facing a police quiz after being accused of ­attacking a rival fan.

Stunned Evertonian Carl Lloyd claims the Manchester United ace stamped on his right arm near the end of the teams’ Premier League clash yesterday.

Carl, 34, says he was left in agony and was treated in hospital last night before making an official complaint to Merseyside police.

Joiner Carl, who was sitting near the touchline behind an advertising hoarding, says the incident happened when he leaned over the board to try to retrieve the ball.

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.”

After having treatment from St John Ambulance medics at Everton’s home Goodison Park, Carl went to Arrowe Park hospital in Birkenhead, Merseyside.

Last night he headed from the hospital to give a full statement about 22-year-old Ronaldo’s alleged attack to the police.

A police spokesman said last night: “A number of potential witnesses have been identified and will be spoken to in an attempt to establish the details of the incident.”

The alleged incident took place near the end of the game that Manchester United won 1-0.

Ian Ross, Everton’s director of communications, said: “Our stadium manager, safety officer and my department have no knowledge of this, so there is nothing we can say.”

United said they could make no official comment without first receiving confirmation of an incident.
