Cristiano Ronaldo's House in Alderley Edge, Cheshire

He may be a hero to millions of football fans, but Cristiano Ronaldo's new neighbours have branded his £4million mansion "offensive, brutal and insensitive".

The Manchester United star is the latest of his team-mates to move into a vast property built in place of a knocked-down modest family house in Cheshire's "Footballers' Wives" belt.

Fed up with seeing the bulldozers sent in to flatten what they regard as perfectly good, traditional houses, residents of the village of Alderley Edge even attempted to hold a referendum to halt the trend.
