He wasn't overly impressed at first

Cristiano Ronaldo may be one of the world's best now but when he first arrived at Manchester United he did not convince all of his teammates immediately, including Quinton Fortune.
The South African played alongside the Portuguese at Old Trafford and admits that he was not overly taken to the now Juventus star in those early days.
"The first time I saw him he wasn't terrorising from any angle," he told The Guardian.
"Then in the dressing room everyone said he had been amazing.
"Cristiano walked around saying he was the best and yes, he was cocky, that was just Ronaldo."
Fortune went on to discuss the importance of ex-boss Sir Alex Ferguson in the player's development.
"Ferguson was the reason for him maturing," he added.
"Sir Alex educated him and he couldn't have had better support.
"Together, my God, they could dominate the world - it was a perfect combination.
