The son of Phil Bardsley has celebrated his eighth birthday with a homage to his footballing hero.
Unfortunately for Stoke City defender, however, Rocco's cake made no mention of his father.
Instead, the eight-year-old has revealed his love for Bardsley's former Manchester United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo with a themed cake covered in photos of the Real Madrid star.
The photo was shared on the Instagram of Bardsley's wife, Tanya, who joked that Phil 'can't understand why Rocco wanted Ronaldo and not him'.
