Oldham Sign Ronaldo! Well, Not the Brazilian or Portuguese One...

Oldham Athletic have have landed Ronaldo. 

He's related to Rivaldo and Trezeguet, and the 16-year-old is expected to have a lasting impact on the club. 

But Ronaldo's never won the World Cup and he's not a Portuguese Ballon d'Or winner...he did just get released by Liverpool, though. 

Ronaldo Brown recently signed a contract with the League One side, which turned a few eyebrows because of his first name. 

Unfortunately for Oldham fans, even though his name is associated with a few legendary footballers, his credentials don't quite match his predecessors.

His football-mad mum, Denise, named him Ronaldo as a result of her infatuation with the Brazilian national team. That's also why his brother's name is Rivaldo. 

Ronaldo's sister, Trezeguet, broke the Brazilian mold as her birth followed the Frenchman's efforts in the 2004 European Championship. 

Denise explained her naming decisions to BBC Sport: 

"

I'm just a great fan of football—I'm football crazy. 

At the point when they were born in 1998, I was hoping Brazil would win the World Cup so I just thought I'd call them Ronaldo and Rivaldo. 

Sometimes they have a go at each other as Ronaldo is not talked about more than Rivaldo. 

"

In spite of his namesake, the Manchester United fan was pulling for a Lionel Messi or Andres Iniesta Ballon d'Or win in 2013 over Ronaldo (of the Portuguese variety).

Iniesta or Messi for the Ballon d'Or..
