Brown was named after the former striker and the theme runs in the family as his twin brother is called Rivaldo and sister is named Trezeguet.

Their mum Denise, 38, chose the names because of her love of the Brazil side.

"I'm just a great fan of football - I'm football crazy," she told BBC Sport.

"At the point when they were born in 1998, I was hoping Brazil 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," she joked.

Ronaldo, who is a Manchester United fan, was released by Liverpool and went on trials various clubs such as Burnley, Bolton and Blackpool but chose the Latics.

Denise also revealed that young sister Trezeguet was given her name after the France striker's exploits at Euro 2004.
