How strange

Collect 7,000 crisp packets and you’ll win a signed Cristiano Ronaldo jersey, apparently.

Crisitano Ronaldo has shown his support for the world’s most obese man’s quest for a healthier lifestyle by sending him an autographed jersey.

Fox Soccer are reporting that Ronaldo sent the Real Madrid shirt to Andres Moreno before he underwent weight loss surgery.

The 37-year-old Mexican weighs in at 960 lbs and found out about the gift from Ronaldo after he underwent his first surgery of a series that will combat his morbid obesity.

Moreno thanked the Real Madrid star for the gift and for taking note in his situation.

“I feel as if I had gotten a Christmas gift before Christmas,” Moreno said.
