Nottingham Forest striker Emmanuel Dennis was left "speechless" after meeting his footballing hero Ronaldinho while on holiday.
The 25-year-old is currently earning some down time on holiday with Brazilian teammate Gustavo Scarpa. The pair were pictured together on social media with the caption: "Enjoy the holidays with my big bro Scarpa."
Dennis arrived at the City Ground in a £14million deal last summer from Watford. He scored two Premier League goals in 19 appearances during his debut season at the Reds.

And on Saturday, he posted a picture on social media of him alongside 2002 World Cup winner Ronaldinho and the Nigerian appeared to be left starstruck at meeting a player who clearly had a huge influence on his footballing career growing up.
He wrote: "Meet the reason why I’m a football player today, the real GOAT. I’m speechless," alongside a GOAT (greatest of all time) emoji and a love heart followed by a blushing face emoji.
He is not the first Forest player to be spotted with the Brazil legend recently. Nico Williams was pictured alongside him just over a week ago with the club sharing his holiday snap alongside the cheeky message, "Neco with a friend."
