Sporting pictures of the Week :- 25 May
1Taking Full Kit W to a new level. A family of Sheffield Wednesday fans tie the knot.
Meanwhile Liverpool made the Champions League for the second time in eight years. And Coutinho looks as if he’s about to channel his inner Robbie Fowler to celebrate.
A few days later, and here’s Jurgen Klopp on a cultural enlightenment session in Australia.
Flyboard at the international extreme water sports festival in Sochi.
Being a Roger Federer fan is a multi-generational thing. Bonus points to the guy in the green on the bottom right.
Speaking of people on the periphery of a photo here is a shot of the Hurricanes on their flight to South Africa. There is a lot to digest here; why are they wearing NBA singlets, the Paul Henry lookalike in the pink shirt is dreading the next 16 hours. And is that Sean Spicer on TV to the right?
Rugby League screen grab of the week.
Time for some traditional features, although no Warnie this week sorry. Strange golfing trophy corner. The BMW Charity Pro Am prize; and it’s not for the longest drive.
Strange Mascot corner. This star turned up for England’s ODI v South Africa in Leeds. Totally without context.
Picturesque sporting grounds corner. Philadelphia Union stadium in the MLS.
Actually, to be fair to the ECB, if you have any interest in cricket and live in the UK you could not have missed their many many All Stars cricket ads. They are pushing their new incentive to get 5-8 yr olds into cricket very hard, incl using the All Stars mascot ‘starry’ :-/
