Noel Gallagher said that his son Sonny brought the poster home during Cristiano Ronaldo’s time at Real Madrid but he did not realise at the time that the Portuguese was already considered a legend at Old Trafford.
Noel Gallagher banned his son from hanging up a Cristiano Ronaldo poster in his room despite the Manchester United forward being his favourite player.
Speaking to the Pub Talk podcast, hosted by Alan Brazil and Ray Parlour, Gallagher said he told Sonny such an image was not allowed under his roof.
“The young lad, Sonny, plays for his local team and went for trials for the county,” the former Oasis songwriter said.
“He’s enthusiastic, has a good shot and great positional play. I’d rather him be a footballer, they get paid more than musicians.”
“But it was a funny day when he started really identifying with players. He didn’t realise Ronaldo had played with United and he came home with a Ronaldo poster. I was like, ‘Mate, what are you doing?’ He was like, ‘I love Ronaldo, he’s my favourite player.’ But I told him, ‘You can’t have it in this house, mate’ and I had to show him a picture of him in a United kit because he had only ever known him as playing for Real Madrid and Juventus.”
