CRISTIANO RONALDO'S attitude towards fans can't be knocked - even when they accidentally knock him!
The Manchester United legend won new admirers for the way he dealt with a supporter catching him on the shin with his wheelchair.

Viewers loved the amusing exchange as Ronaldo ended up with a smile almost as big as his bank balance.
It began an eventful night for Ronaldo, who was outside Portugal's team hotel at the time of the 'collision'.
The Al-Nassr striker was later grabbed by a pitch invader as he warmed up at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena to face Germany in the Nations League semi-final.
And he then drilled Portugal's clincher in a 2-1 comeback win - thanks to his 137th international goal midway through the second half.
Understandably the 40-year-old looked ecstatic.
But he was in high spirits during his hotel encounter.
Ronaldo walked over to sign an autograph.
And as he was preparing to do just that, the fan's wheelchair nudged forward and hit the five-time Ballon d'Or winner on the right leg.

Ronaldo rubbed his shin as he smiled and shared a joke with the fan.
It's just possible the ex- Real Madrid winger was mischievously pretending to have been fouled - as contact looked minimal.

And he then finished scribbling his signature before posing for a selfie with the man.
One fan responded to the clip on social media by saying: "Massive respect to CR7 who made the supporters day."
Another viewer wrote: "Ronaldo down to earth."
"I have to respect him for this," posted a third.
Many fans still relentlessly argue online over Ronaldo's GOAT claims compared to those of Lionel Messi.
But Ron's 'bumpy' exchange even earned grudging backing from supporters of his great rival!
One said: "As someone who prefers Messi's play style this is why you gotta respect Ronaldo, class human being."
