Newry City produce a bigger, better, hairier version of the Cristiano Ronaldo changing room celebration

Conan Doherty

No-one wants to look at Ronaldo’s sculpted body anymore. Right?

We’d rather our topless football players be more… Irish.

Good news, Newry City are looking after us.

The county Down outfit celebrated winning the Mid Ulster Intermediate A in style at the weekend with a Ronaldo changing room celebration to end them all (it won’t end Cristiano’s notions of course, he’ll definitely take his shirt off again).

Doing the Ronaldo is becoming quite a fad now.

Only yesterday, a Louth team were producing their own risqué version of the now infamous picture.

It still didn’t top the Dutch women’s shot that went viral.

But Newry City AFC have given it their best go and, with blue trunks – and adidas as well just to rival Ronnie even further – the club’s own Ronaldo stand-in almost puts the Portuguese star to shame.

Ronaldo’s in good nick and all but could he do it in a cold changing room in Ulster?
