He may play for South American rivals Uruguay but Hull City forward Abel Hernandez has a picture of Brazilian legend Ronaldo tattooed on his right leg.
Hernandez, who featured in Hull City's defeat to Manchester United last night in the League Cup semi-final, showed off his tattoo once again, with many noticing the inking when he replaced Adama Diomande in the second half.
The reason behind the tattoo has been revealed by Hernandez, who has declared his huge admiration for one of the game's biggest names - Ronaldo.

"My idol and the best of the best." said Hernandez, who hasn't let national rivalry get in the way of this incredible tribute.
The above picture is back when Ronaldo was at the peak of his powers, knocking them in for fun when he played for Real Madrid and Brazil.

Ronaldo well and truly dominated European football during that period, and arguably his best football was played on the international stage. He could do it all.
A three time World Player of the Year, Ronaldo is without doubt one of the best of all time - and his two Ballon d'Or awards are proof of that.
If you're going to have a picture of any footballers face inked on you for life, it may as well be Ronaldo.

What a superb tribute to one of the very best.
Brilliant.
