Royal Wedding ‘Sports’ Special

When I say Royal Wedding Special what I really mean is an attempt to cash in on the vast amount of global publicity generated by what is surely the event of the year, if not decade.  I also have an entirely unfounded suspicion that the announcement of the death of Osama Bin Laden (Arsenal supporter) may have been delayed so it would have maximum impact and not be overshadowed by last Friday’s spectacle.

Anyway my plan is to crowbar in some of the various sports people present at the wedding and who better to start with than serial friends of people in high places – David and Victoria Beckham.  You can’t argue that they don’t look good, because even in my uneducated eyes they clearly do but do they really know the happy couple?  Well maybe, but you can’t shake the suspicion that it’s a piece of good publicity for everyone involved.

Here’s someone who definately is part of the royal gang these days – Mike Tindall, ex-England rugby player and his other half Zara Phillips.  Zara is the daughter of Princess Anne and consequently well up there in the royal rankings.

Here’s one for the colonies.  I can’t imagine where Will & Kate met Ian Thorpe, Australian Olympic gold medal winning swimmer but who am I to question the lists if invitees drawn up by the future King of England?

We do know however that both Royal brothers are big rugby fans and were both at Stadium Australia in Sydney when England won the rugby world cup there in 2003.  We saw pictures from the dressing room post-match featuring the pair and it comes as no surprise that Knight of the Realm Sir Clive Woodward, coach of that unbeatable England squad, received an invitation.

Lastly here’s another rugby player, Welshman Gareth Thomas, all dolled up for the occasion.

Ronaldo’s new boots and Rooney’s new investment

Posted on by

Right, this article, back to the gossip and tittle-tattle that everyone loves, even if they pretend they don’t. So who’s an easy target for this edition? Not surprisingly it’s bi-curious, hairless fop Christiano Ronaldo, the mildly talented Portuguese striker.

Ronaldo, along with his major sponsor Nike, have released a pair of the most astonishingly tasteless football boots ever to grace the turf. The black and white animal print horrors sport a bright orange swoosh and, says the diving maestro, will give him “…..everything I need to elevate my game”. How? New levels of ‘gamesmanship’ and histrionics perhaps. We’ll see, you would imagine wearing them in a Champions League match against an British side would see him laughed off the pitch.

Aarrgh!

The actual name of these horrors is the CR Safari Superfly II if you’d actually like to adorn yourself with them.

Since we’ve crossed Ronaldo off the list, let’s have a quick look at the latest ‘news’ surrounding Wayne and Coleen Rooney, England’s classiest couple. After Wayne’s high profile adultery some months ago, the Daily Star reckons he paid £10,000 for breast enhancement surgery for the lucky lady (Coleen, not the prostitute) to make up for the transgression. Check out the photo of Coleen’s new look to make up your own mind.

Coleen's new look?

Lastly here’s an amusing video courtesy of a Brazilian second division league game featuring Ponte Preta and Santo Andre. For some ludicrous reason there’s a flight of steps leading underground just to the edge of the pitch. That being the case you can’t believe this hasn’t happened before……….
