A schoolboy has been sent home from lessons for having a Ronaldo-style haircut to honour of his Braziliian World Cup hero.
In the spirit of the World Cup, Alfie Ransom, 12, asked his mum to cut his hair in the iconic style of Brazilian football legend Ronaldo Nazário. The star striker won the 2002 World Cup with Brazil sporting the unusual trim, which he said was a plan to take the pressure off him.
Alfie, from Hull, East Yorkshire, had been contemplating the new hair do for weeks and after England won their first World Cup game on Monday, he asked mum Emma Shaw to go ahead with the chop. However, the schoolboy's retro style did not impress the teachers at Sirius West Academy, Hull Live reports .
