Ronaldo has been cleared to take to the Wembley pitch for Hereford's FA Vase final against Morpeth Town on Sunday.

But Morpeth should not be overly concerned as the Ronaldo in question is not the three-times world player of the year called Cristiano with a dazzling array of footwork and lethal shooting ability, but a very large prize Hereford bull who happens to be the club's loyal mascot.

Hereford, who are nicknamed the Bulls, have been given permission by Wembley officials to parade Ronaldo in front of their fans before the start of the final.

"I am absolutely delighted that the FA and Wembley Stadium have agreed to our request and I know seeing Ronaldo gracing such an iconic venue will be a proud moment for every Herefordian," club chairman Jon Hale said.

Hereford FC, who play in the ninth tier of English football, were founded only last year after Hereford United were wound up.

Ronaldo has already ingratiated himself with the club's fans when he was paraded at their Edgar Street ground wearing Real Madrid and Manchester United scarves before the club's first Midland League match last August.
