JOHN TERRY has heaped praise on a London Marathon runner “dressed as a shoe” after they overtook him before returning to help him.The former Chelsea captain was one of a number of ex footballers taking part in the run on Sunday, including ex-Blues stars Steve Sidwell and Jody Morris.John Terry has thanked a runner who was dressed as a shoe after they helped him during the London MarathonCredit: SplashTerry suffered nipple chafing and had cramp during the courseCredit: SplashHowever, the 44-year-old was left in pain after blood was seen coming through his T-shirt after suffering from nipple chafing when he was picked up by TV cameras during the event.But Terry’s afternoon took a strange turn when he was helped by a fellow runner… dressed as a shoe.Taking to Instagram, Terry shared a picture of himself in his running gear alongside Morris and Sidwell and said the marathon was “the TOUGHEST thing” he had ever done “by far”.He captioned the post with his stunning shoe story, saying: “Legs are a little stiff and sore this morning, that is by far the TOUGHEST thing I have EVER done and this morning I have so much respect for everyone who run the marathon yesterday.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”Also a big shout out to the guy dressed as a shoe, who overtook me when I was struggling, yes dressed as a shoe and overtook me, slowed down and gave me some great words of encouragement and gave me some sweets and gels, he then carried on running, about two minutes later he come running back towards me with a bottle of coke.”Thank you mate 👊🏻💙🏃🏻‍♂️SHHOOEEE…”I see so many great things like this yesterday.”Well Done everyone.”Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKThe runner in question turned out to be Karl Fitzpatrick.According to the BBC, he was running to raise money for Jersey Hospice.John Terry clashes with Mark Clattenburg as the 26ers face F.C RTW in the Baller League He has been supporting the hospice since 2022 and has raised nearly £22,000 in that time.On running with Terry, Mr Fitzpatrick told the BBC: “I said to the fella ‘only the greatest marathon runners wear these shoes,’ joking as we both had them on.”I then realised it was John Terry. I slowed down and try to give him the motivational bants and tried to reassure him that he was doing fine.”So it might have looked strange, a shoe running the opposite way to everyone else and handing a full fat coke. I wished him the very best and told him ‘be strong and the pain will go.”As well as his nipple injury, Terry was also forced to slow to a walk at one point due to cramp.He eventually completed the course in just over five hours.However, former manager Jose Mourinho issued a brutal reply to his marathon completion on Instagram.Read More on The SunHe joked: “Sid I believe. You I have doubts you did it.”Sidwell himself replied to the post, saying: “Brilliant mate. Incredible effort.”Steve Sidwell also completed the London MarathonCredit: instagram @stevesidwell14 More

REAL MADRID star Antonio Rudiger may miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his knee.Rudiger, 32, has been a mainstay for Real since his move to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2022 from Chelsea.Real Madrid star Antonio Rudiger could be out for two months after knee surgeryCredit: Instagram / toniruedigerRudiger could miss the rest of the season for RealRudiger is facing a lengthy ban for his antics in the Copa del Rey finalThe German threw an ice pack at the refereeHowever, the centre-back had been dealing with “severe” knee pain the last seven months and underwent surgery.Real stated earlier today: “Rudiger has been successfully operated on today for a partial rupture in the external meniscus of his left leg.”The operation went well but the reigning Spanish and European champions may be without the Germany international for the rest of LaLiga’s schedule.According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Rudiger will be sidelined for “almost two months”.Read More on FootballThe ex-Chelsea star, though, was in high spirits after surgery as he posted a picture of himself on social media from his hospital bed with a big smile while giving the camera the thumbs up.The defender also suggested he will be back for the summer’s Club World Cup.Rudiger posted on Instagram: “After I have played more than seven month [sic] with severe pain, it was unfortunately unavoidable that I had to undergo a meniscus surgery. “Now I’m finally pain-free again, and the surgery was a success.

See you soon and take care of yourselves.”Antonio Rudiger instantly wins over Arsenal fans as former Chelsea defender pays Gunners stars huge complimentNevertheless, Rudiger still faces a lengthy lay-off regardless of how well his rehabilitation goes.That is because of his antics during Saturday’s Copa del Rey final that saw Real losing 3-2 to rivals Barcelona.A raging Rudiger launched an ice pack at referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea with just 20 seconds of extra-time remaining after Kylian Mbappe was judged to have fouled Eric Garcia in Madrid’s last attack.When the official came over to the bench to dish out red cards the German had to be held back from confronting him by Ferland Mendy and a member of staff.Rudiger’s public apologyThe ex-Roma star and Lucas Vazquez, both of whom were substituted earlier in the match, were sent off after the latter angrily sprinted on to the pitch.Some reports suggested Rudiger told the ref, “You’re a miscarriage’ and called him a “son of a wh***”.The centre-half issued a public apology after those shocking scenes, which also saw Jude Bellingham getting sent off after the final whistle for “approaching the referee aggressively” and needing “to be restrained by team-mates”.Nevertheless, the former Stuttgart star still faces a mammoth 12-match ban for his behaviour in the Spanish Cup final, which was criticised by Germany sporting director Rudi Voller.Rudiger posted on Sunday: “There’s definitely no excuse for my behaviour last night. I’m very sorry for that.Read More on The Sun”We played a very good game from the 2nd half on – After 111 minutes I was not able to help my team anymore and before the final whistle I did a mistake.”Sorry again to the referee and to everyone I have disappointed last night.” More

DREAM TEAM managers have been perplexed by Tottenham all season long.Ange Postecoglou’s side are languishing 16th in the Premier League and have lost 23 games in all competitions but they’ve also provided lorry-loads of points.A strange season in many waysCredit: AlamyIn fact, six Spurs players have amassed 200+ points this campaign; only Arsenal and Liverpool have more double centurions at the time of writing.The reason for this disconnect is that while Spurs have lost far too many games, they’ve scored more than their fair share of goals, 97 in all competitions to be precise.This attacking pedigree is not to be taken lightly by Dream Team bosses.Looking ahead to Gameweek 34, Dominic Solanke (£3.5m) should be considered a strong option.Solanke scored against Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-finalsCredit: GettyThe power of hindsight reveals that the England striker was a good punt for Gameweek 33 as he scored his side’s only goal at Anfield in what became Liverpool’s celebratory 5-1 romp.The one-sided nature of that contest meant most Spurs players suffered significant damage but Solanke escaped with a very respectable 10-point haul.And he will surely get a chance to add to his tally on Thursday when Bodo/Glimt visit North London for the first leg of an intriguing Europa League semi-final.Gaffers tempted by Solanke for Gameweek 23, when Spurs are due to face West Ham before the second leg against their Norwegian opponents, can use Thursday’s fixture to scout the 27-year-old further.Most read in FootballBodo/Glimt have punched above their weight in Europe this season but they will be missing several key players at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium due to injuries and suspensions.Solanke has earned 236 points so far this seasonCredit: EPASpurs are one of just four teams set to pull double duty in Gameweek 34, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea being the others due to their own European semi-final commitments.Given the Blues’ second leg against Djurgarden in the Conference League is offset by a league game against Liverpool, it’s reasonable to deduce that Spurs have the most favourable double header of the lot.The Hammers are among the very few teams below Postecoglou’s side in the table at present and Solanke will fancy his chances of getting on the scoresheet if unleashed upon Graham Potter’s demoralised troops.The ex-Bournemouth forward may not have scored as many goals (13) as would have liked this term but a healthy number of assists (10) means he averages a goal involvement every 132.9 minutes.Only Europa League success will salvage Postecoglou’s second season at SpursCredit: Bradley Collyer/PA WireSon Heung-min (£4.3m) leads the way for total points among his team-mates with 268 but he’s yet to return from injury.James Maddison (£4m), Brennan Johnson (£2.8m), Pedro Porro (£5.1m) and Dejan Kulusevski (£4.1m) have all outscored Solanke to date but the Swedish midfielder has struggled since his spell on the sidelines while the other three are all minutes risks, though the Spaniard is a viable option in defence.Gaffers who like to target as many games as possible should consider Solanke (8.7% ownership) as a potential replacement for the likes of Alexander Isak (£5.7m), Ollie Watkins (£4.7m) and Chris Wood (£3.8m), who all have just four games remaining before the season ends.Spurs could play as many as six games from Gameweek 34 onwards if they make it to the Europa League final.Score PredictorPlay Score Predictor with Dream Team this season!FREE to play£250 weekly prizePredict scores of five selected Premier League fixtures and earn points for accuracyMost points wins weekly cash prizePLAY NOW More

Born in May 1999, Bonnie – whose real name is Tia Billinger – grew up in a small Derbyshire village, and attended the Friesland School in the village of Sandiacre.She has two half-siblings – a sister and a brother – who have always remained out of the public eye.She never knew her biological father, and considers stepfather Nicholas Elliott her dad.Bonnie also became something of a dance star in her local area, and competed in the British Street Dance Championships alongside her sister back in 2015.She also had a part-time job at Poundstretcher as a teenager.After school, she began working in recruitment.In October 2022, Bonnie married Oliver Davidson, who she had started dating when she was just 15.Once they were married, they moved to Australia, where Bonnie continued working in recruitment.However, it was in Australia that she decided to pursue a different line of work, and tried her luck as a ‘cam girl’ – crediting Oliver for giving her the confidence to enter the adult entertainment world.She quickly made a name for herself in the industry, and was soon making £5,000 a week.But while her work life was going from strength to strength, her relationship was crumbling, and she and Oliver split after almost a decade together.She moved over to OnlyFans following her cam girl success, and once again found fame on there.She quickly became a favourite on the site, especially thanks to her “niche” of sleeping with young male students – such as when she bedded 158 students during Nottingham Trent University’s freshers week in September 2024. Bonnie is now estimated to be worth £3 million, and makes around £600,000 a month on OnlyFans.Her family are also supportive of her work, with mum Sarah Billinger even claiming she’s her daughter’s PA, and helps clean up after Bonnie’s events – as well as handing out condoms to young clients.

RASMUS HOJLUND admitted “I needed that” after scoring just his second Manchester United goal in 2025 to salvage a point at Bournemouth.But the big question remains: Do United need Hojlund?Rasmus Hojlund scored only his second Man Utd goal in 2025 against Bournemouth at the weekendCredit: GettyHojlund is having a difficult campaign in front of goalThe Red Devils are well on track for their worst campaign in Premier League history with Ruben Amorim unable to halt the slide after replacing Erik Ten Hag in November.Of all the damning statistics to point to, the number of goals scored is the most alarming, with just 39 from 34 Prem games so far – only six more than relegated Ipswich.Since 1990, only ONCE before have United ended a league season with less than 50 goals to their name, in 2015/16 with 49 under Dutchman Louis van Gaal, who was sacked minutes after lifting the FA Cup in May 2016.United need 11 goals from their final four games to avoid that feat, having only managed to score 11 goals in their last nine outings.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThere are issues for Amorim to solve all over the pitch, but attack is one that will make or break his tenure – and his current options simply aren’t up to scratch.Hojlund’s 96th minute equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw at the Cherries on Sunday was his fourth in 29 Prem games for United this term – the same number as Marcus Rashford who made 15 league appearances before joining Aston Villa on loan on February 2.On Instagram post match, Hojlund wrote: “We wanted the win, but I needed that.”The injured duo of Amad Diallo and Joshua Zirkzee have a combined nine Prem goals while Alejandro Garnacho has five and skipper Bruno Fernandes has eight.Most read in FootballJoin SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plusin-depth coverage and exclusives from Old TraffordBut the spotlight will always come back to Hojlund – the 22-year-old from Atalanta United paid £72m for in July 2023 after netting 10 goals in 34 appearances out in Italy.His tally of 16 goals in 43 games in all competitions last term was a promising start, yet the Danish international has gone backwards since then at the worst possible time.Man Utd legend spotted consoling Rasmus Hojlund and giving Man Utd striker pep talk after 14-minute cameo vs Arsenal United are expected to conduct a mass overhaul to their squad this summer, selling underperforming, overpaid stars to raise funds for their transfer kitty.SunSport understands that the priority is an attacking midfielder and an elite No.9, with Ipswich’s Liam Delap on the club’s radar.Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres is still an option, while it is understood United are ready to pay the £62.5m release clause for Wolves’ Matheus Cunha.Whoever United bring in, this will leave Hojlund in a difficult position, and Amorim is unlikely to fight his corner on this season’s showing.After the Bournemouth draw, asked about the player’s future, Amorim was interestingly vague: “We like our strikers. We are improving our strikers. We will see what happens next season.”United are ready to sell any first-team player that can demand a hefty fee, especially if they fail to win the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League.And Hojlund is no exception, with clubs back in Italy showing an interest in a player that is still young and with a lot of potential.Read More on The SunAs United legend Gary Neville explained on Sunday: “There will be a lot of clubs looking at the talent and where United haven’t got the best out of those players and thinking they can get a cheap deal on them.“With Hojlund, there is a player in there for a club in Europe somewhere.”Bruno Fernandes is Man Utd’s top scorer in the league this season More

MANCHESTER UNITED are in talks with Aston Villa over whether to recall injured Marcus Rashford.The England forward, 27, damaged his hamstring during training last week and looks set to be sidelined for a few weeks.Marcus Rashford could return to Manchester United following his hamstring injuryCredit: GettyVilla’s final match of the season is against his parent club United — a game Rashford would not be eligible to play in.That means the last game of his loan spell would be the May 18 home clash with Tottenham.It looks unlikely he will be fit in time for that, meaning his difficult campaign is effectively over. And a decision will need to be taken between the forward — who joined Villa on loan in the winter window — and United over what happens next.READ MORE ON MAN UTDRashford knows there is unlikely to be any future for him at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim, so the Red Devils will listen to offers.And he plans to sit down with his employers before mid-June.Yet he may be forced to return earlier than expected if the two clubs agree there is no prospect of him recovering inside three weeks.That comes in spite of Villa holding a £40m buy option for Rashford as part of their loan agreement with United.Most read in FootballJoin SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plusin-depth coverage and exclusives from Old TraffordSpeaking after Rashford picked up his hamstring issue, Villa boss Unai Emery said: “He’s injured.”He got injured this week and yesterday we did a test – it is his hamstring.’That was missing’ – Brutally blunt Thomas Tuchel reveals disappointment in Rashford and Foden’s England performances”We are going to try to test him each match but he’s injured and probably won’t be available for some weeks.”Rashford is said to be undecided on his future as things stand and will have the final say on where he plays next season.But Man Utd gaffer Ruben Amorim is certain that he made the right decision in letting him and £86m flop Antony leave on loan in January.Speaking last week, he said: “We lack a lot of things in the team.“In January we lost, and you are talking about Rashford and Antony, we lost these players.And we didn’t bring new ones, that was a risk.
