Reading captain Graham Murty is fuming after having his prized Cristiano Ronaldo Manchester United shirt nicked on Saturday night!
He fumed: "Someone has had it away and when I find out who it is, it's going to be bloody. Legs will be broken.
"It's either a player, an apprentice or a member of staff. I have a list of suspects but I don't want to give them any warning.
"It's someone from this club, that's all I'm saying.
"Ronaldo was the nearest player to me at the final whistle so I asked if I could have his shirt.
"I went for a shower, came back to my bag and, lo and behold, someone has half-inched it. I'm not happy."
And Royals' Irish striker Kevin Doyle confirmed: "The skipper is moaning away in the dressing room and, to be fair, I'd be annoyed if that happened to me.
"It's not nice for him to play so well against Ronaldo then have his jersey taken.
"Maybe one of the apprentices has had it. They're all putting the gear away so maybe Murts should check eBay in a day or two!"

The identity of the player who 'stole' Ronaldo's shirt from Reading's Graeme Murty on Saturday is today revealed — as his team-mate, Stephen Hunt.
The Manchester United star gave his sweat-stained No 7 top to Murty at the end of his side's hard-fought 2-0 win at the Madejski Stadium, with the Royals skipper hanging it on his dressing room peg while he took a shower.
But when he returned, the shirt was gone — prompting some choice words from the Scotland international: "Someone's had it away and when I find out who it is, it's going to be bloody," he vowed. "It's either a player, an apprentice or a member of staff but when I find out who it is there are going to be broken legs.
"I know who my list of suspects are. I've played against Ronaldo before but he was the nearest player to me. I said, 'Can I have your shirt?' and he said, 'Yeah, I'm knackered' but the moment I came back from the shower, the shirt had gone."
But it can today be revaled that it was Hunt who was the culprit, with the Irishman living upto his cheeky reputation by hiding the shirt in a — successful — bid to wind up his skipper.
"It was pretty funny really," said Reading goalkeeper and Sportsmail columnist Marcus Hahnemann. "Murts was looking for it everywhere, but Hunty finally came clean and gave it back to him in the players' bar afterwards. And probably just in time!"

I still hate mancs, no doubt about it, but i cant help being attracted to the attractive football that ronaldo plays, particularly since he's grown up a bit and stopped diving three or four times a game. and so, i would like to apologize to all my scouse boys, i swear im still one of you...
