There was a speedy turnaround of emotions when we caught a glimpse of Raheem Sterling’s boots on Sunday.
We saw that the Man City winger has had his daughter’s name stitched into the side of his footwear and let out an enchanted “awh, sure would ya look?”
But we carried on reading and the “awh” turned to “yuck” as we noticed that the former Liverpool starlet seems to have given himself the nickname RS7.
An obvious rip-off of Cristiano Ronaldo’s CR7 brand, Sterling’s boots are more offensive than any red card we’ve seen and they should be binned.
Maybe Sterling isn’t stealing Ronaldo’s ideas but merely reminding himself of his new squad number because, when he showed up at the Etihad, he seemed to have forgotten that he wasn’t a number 31 anymore.
