Now I’ve really seen everything

Some sights in football grounds defy any explanation.

Watching a Carling Cup game in the last round, I turned round to find a fella in the row behind had stripped down to a Borat-style green mankini!

And not content with just showing off his new look, the guy then proceeded to lead a chant of “let’s all have a disco” – bouncing and, err, jiggling, along while he sang.

Cocooned in the press box, you miss a lot of the atmosphere that makes football so special.

But a 30-something bloke in a lime green one-piece and thong I could do without.

Is nice? Definitely not. But be thankful for small mercies – at least the game didn’t go to extra time.
