Schoolboy sent home from school over 'Ronaldo World Cup' haircut

A teenager was sent home from school after sporting a Ronaldo-style World Cup haircut. The teen's mum, Emma Shaw, claims she has been told her son won't be able to attend any classes until he shaves off the iconic trim.

The 12-year-old is an avid football fan and in the spirit of the 2022 World Cup had asked his mum if he could get a haircut based on his favourite player. Alfie Ransom is a huge lover of legendary Brazil striker Ronaldo Nazário.

The forward won the 2002 World Cup with his nation supporting the bizarre trim and it has since gone down in history. After England won their first game of the tournament, the schoolboy asked his mother to give him the chop, reports Hull Live.
