At this stage, we’re all more than a little accustomed to seeing the Real Madrid superstar unashamedly pose for photographs.

But then we dug a little deeper and we discovered that Ronaldo has looked like the Brentmeister General on more than one occasion.

In fact, the Portugal captain has a rather impressive track record of just so happening to resemble Slough’s proudest son.

And if all of those images showing exact similarities between the pair weren’t enough, we know that they both bloody love football.
