Former All-Ireland minor winner Paul Walsh recently presented Brazilian soccer legend Ronaldinho with a Kerry jersey while on his travels Rio De Janeiro.
The 2005 Ballon d'Or winner happily posed with the Brosna clubman and the famous green and gold jersey ahead of the Kingdom's rescheduled All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Tyrone. The pair were also filmed playing 'keepy uppy'.
Both Kerry and Brazil lead the roll of honour in Gaelic football and soccer respectively, with former Barcelona star Ronaldinho having featured for the Canarinho when they last won the World Cup in Japan in 2002.
