      What does Antoine Griezmann’s celebration mean?
      One of the celebrations Antoine Griezmann is known for is his “telephone” gesture.
      This one sees him stick his thumb and finger out and waving his hands as if holding a vibrating telephone.
      Griezmann himself has confirmed that his move was inspired by Canadian rapper Drake.
      The musician was seen performing a similar gesture in the music video for his 2015 hit Hotline Bling.

      Griezmann has been seen celebrating with his telephone move many times in the past, including when he scored a whopping 32 goals for Atlético Madrid during the 2015/16 season.
      It has also been featured in several FIFA games as his signature celebration.
      Another popular celebration of Griezmann’s is his salsa gesture.
      For this one the Frenchman, who was born in Mâcon in 1991, is seen holding his arms as if he is about to perform a salsa routine.

      He then proceeds to dance in celebration.
      Griezmann is also often seen celebrating with his “L” move.
      This celebration appears to have been inspired by the video game Fortnite, where the “L” or “loser” stance is used as a pose.
      For those unfamiliar with the move, it sees players in the game swinging their legs side-to-side with one arm at head height making the letter “L” with their index finger and the thumb.
      Several other athletes have been seen performing this celebration, including professional baseball player Xander Bogaerts who is shortstop for the Boston Red Sox.
      When does Antoine Griezmann perform his celebration?
      Griezmann celebrates with one of his trademark poses after he has scored a goal in football.
      The forward has had many to his name throughout his impressive career.
      As of December 2023, the player is just two goals behind Luis Aragonés’ record as Atlético’s all-time top scorer.
      Aragonés signed for the Madrid team in 1964 and scored 172 goals during his 265 matches, and ten years, with the club.
      Internationally, meanwhile, Griezmann has scored over 40 goals for France and is the nation’s third-highest all-time top goalscorer.
      Griezmann joined Atlético Madrid for a then-club record of €30million in 2014.
      The sports star signed for Barcelona in 2019 but returned to Madrid shortly after, in 2021.
      As well as his many goals, Griezmann has been awarded a number of accolades during his time as a player.
      He was named French Footballer of the Year in 2016 and was the top goal scorer at the 2016 Euros.
      Atlético Madrid also named Griezmann Player of the Year after the 2015/16 season.
      The star has won the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the Supercopa de España.
      He was also nominated for Best FIFA Men’s Player in 2016 and 2018.
      What has Antoine Griezmann said about his celebration?
      Griezmann, who shares three children with wife Erika Choperena, has spoken about his Hotline Bling-inspired celebration in the past.
      After he was quizzed on the move when he forgot to perform it at a 2016 game, he told press: “That’s a dance from the video to Drake’s Hotline Bling.
      “I’ve been doing it when I score for Atlético and I should have done it when I scored against Albania, but the emotion was too much and I forgot about it.
      “The same thing happened when I equalised against Ireland. For the second goal, I remembered.”
      He has also spoken about his Fornite themed celebration, revealing it was one of his daughter’s ideas.
      He said in 2020: “This morning, I was having breakfast with my daughter and I asked her how she would like me to celebrate a goal.
      Read More on The Sun
      “She told me to do this and that’s how it came about!”  
      Griezmann has two daughters and one son who were all born on the same date, April 8. More

      Who is Decca Heggie? Bare knuckle boxer arrested in the Philippines

      by

      DECCA Heggie is a bare-knuckle boxer turned actor with a dark past. But what do we know about the fighter — and his recent arrest? 
      Bare-knuckle boxer Decca Heggie is facing deportation from the Philippines.
      Who is Decca Heggie?
      Derek “Decca” Heggie was born in Carlisle in Cumbria on November 22, 1983, and has some Scottish heritage. 
      He started his career as a bare-knuckle boxer, a form of boxing where fighters wear no gloves or padding on their hands. 
      Since retiring, he has also been involved in organising fights between other fighters, saying: “We’re stopping what would be worse violence in some cases.
      “We’re ‘fighters first’ because of that, the fighters get looked after because I know what it takes to step in there and do it.”
      Read more on MMA
      Beyond organising fights, the former-boxer has shifted his career to podcasting and acting. 
      Heggie presents the Official All of Nothing Podcast, where he interviews “some of the most notorious and controversial figures from all around the world.
      Heggie has been vocal about his issues with mental health and drug addiction. 
      In 2018, he published an autobiography titled “Prizefighter – The Searing Autobiography of Britain’s Bareknuckle Boxing Champion”. 
      Most read in Boxing
      What is Decca Heggie’s fight record?
      Heggie was unbeaten following a total of 15 fights before retiring from the sport.  
      While bare-knuckle boxing is legal, Heggie said that his first three fights were illegal. 
      Speaking to Vice, he said: “One in the gangster’s back garden, then I went over to America and had two illegal fights out there — I won all of them. 
      “Bareknuckle is always linked to the underworld.”
      Bare-knuckle boxing is brutal — a 2021 fight between Heggie and Danny Christie, also from Carlisle, resulted in both being covered in blood, after fighting non-stop for ten minutes in a boxing gym, 
      Bare-knuckle boxing is one of Britain’s oldest sports, with records of early fights dating back to 1641.
      Why has Decca Heggie been arrested in the Philippines?
      On December 1, 2023, it was revealed that Heggie was facing deportation from the Philippines after alleged details of a past criminal conviction came to light.
      A UK source said: “The material emerging from the Philippines does not tally with the detainee’s record in the UK. 
      “The Philippine Bureau of Immigration will regularly deport people they deem to be undesirable and Heggie possibly falls into this bracket.”
      Taking to social media, Heggie told his followers: “I’ve done nothing wrong. I will fight this to the end.”
      What films has Decca Heggie been in?
      Heggie has a few film acting credits to his name, including 2019’s The Corrupted, starring Sam Claflin, Timothy Spall, and Hugh Bonneville.

      He has also featured in 2017’s My Name is Lenny, 2021’s Twist, and Netflix’s Jagame Thandhiram, also in 2021. 
      Heggie also appeared in two episodes of Bulletproof in 2020, available on Amazon. More

      McGinn continued: “A lot of people I played with when I was younger had to wear the goggles and when you’re younger it’s difficult.
      “You feel socially kind of out of it but it’s just a wee thing, a nod to Jack and now it’s just kind of stuck.
      “So hopefully if I’m scoring I’m getting the goggles out.”

      What is Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta song?
      Arsenal’s song in tribute to Mikel Arteta became hugely popular during the 2022/23 football season.
      In that time, the manager led his team to huge success, with the Gunners topping the table for the majority of the season.
      Unfortunately, the team were unable to capture the Premier League title as Manchester City ultimately won.
      The 2023/24 season kicked off in August 2023, with Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta song still going strong.
      READ MORE ON MIKEL ARTETA
      As well as being a manager for the club, Arteta is a former Arsenal player himself having signed with the team back in August 2011 on a four-year deal.
      He ended up spending five years with the team and was even named captain ahead of the 2014/15 season.
      What are Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta song lyrics?
      The lyric’s to Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta song are:
      “We’ve got super Mik Arteta,
      Most read in Football
      He knows exactly what we need,
      Kieran at the back, Gabi in attack,
      Arsenal on our way to Champions League.”
      As well as Arteta, players Gabriel Martinelli and Kieran Tierney are mentioned.

      Tierney, meanwhile, signed for the team in August 2019 for a reported £25million.
      He joined La Liga club Real Sociedad on a season-long loan in August 2023.
      Are there any other famous Arsenal chants?
      There are a number of other famous Arsenal chants that have been sung by the team’s loyal supporters over the years.
      Here we break down some of the most popular:
      We all follow the Arsenal
      The lyrics to this chant are:
      “We all follow the Arsenal,
      Over land and sea, (and Leicester!)
      We all follow the Arsenal,
      Onto victory!”
      According to fans, the Leicester shout-out in this song is in reference to a series of matches that were played at Leicester’s Filbert Street stadium in the 1970s.
      We are the Arsenal boys
      This song sees fans chant the words:
      “Hello! Hello!
      We are the Arsenal boys,
      Hello! Hello!
      We are the Arsenal boys,
      And if you are a Tottenham fan surrender or you die,
      We all follow the Arsenal.”
      Arsenal and Tottenham have had a famous rivalry since the early 1900s.
      It is thought the feud began in 1913 when Arsenal moved to Highbury, just four miles from Tottenham’s White Hart Lane.
      Oooh to be a gooner
      This short and sweet chant simply requires fans to chant: ” Oooh to, ooh to be, ooh to be a Goo-ner!” on repeat.
      This is is one of the most popular Arsenal chants fans will hear at games.
      What do you think of Tottenham?
      This Arsenal chant again references the rivalry between the Gunners and Tottenham.
      In this song, the lyrics are more explicit as they go:
      “What do you think of Tottenham?
      Sh**.
      What do you think of sh**?
      Tottenham.
      Thank you.
      Read More on The Sun
      That’s alright.”
      This is then followed by a repeated of chant of “We hate Tottenham, we hate Tottenham, we hate Tottenham, we hate Tottenham, we hate Tottenham, we hate Tottenham,” and finishes off with the line: “We are the Tottenham haters.” More

      10 Men Went to Mow
      Possibly the most iconic Chelsea chant, 10 Men Went to Mow, goes like this: 
      One man went to mow,
      Went to mow a meadow,
      One man and his dog (spot!)
      Went to mow a meadow.
      Two men went to mow,

      Ten men, nine men, eight men, seven men, six men, five men, four men, three men, two men, one man and his dog (spot!)
      Went to mow a meadow.
      Keep the Blue Flag Flying High
      This long-standing Chelsea chant is to the tune of the 19th-century socialist song “The Red Flag”, which is also the anthem of the Labour Party.
      Flying high, up in the sky,
      We’ll keep the blue flag flying high
      From Stamford Bridge to Wemb(er)ley

      Many clubs play an instrumental version of Harry J Allstars’ 1969 reggae song, The Liquidator.

      So cheer us on through the sun and rain
      ’cause Chelsea, Chelsea is our name
      Here at the Bridge whether rain or fine
      We can shine all the time
      Home or away, come and see us play
      You’re welcome any day
      Blue is the colour, football is the game
      We’re all together, and winning is our aim
      So cheer us on through the sun and rain
      ’cause Chelsea, Chelsea is our name
      Come to the Shed and we’ll welcome you
      Wear your blue and see us through
      Sing loud and clear until the game is done
      Sing Chelsea everyone.
      Chelsea, Chelsea
      The clue is in the name — this is a simple chant: 
      Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea
      Blue Day
      Blue Day was released as a single by English singer Suggs, with backing from the Chelsea squad, when they were playing in the FA Cup final. 
      It reached number 22 in the UK singles chart. 
      It’s now sung by fans at Stamford Bridge home games. 
      The only place to be
      Every other Saturday
      Is strollin’ down the Fulham Road
      Meet your mates and have a drink
      Have a moan and start to think
      Will there ever be a blue tomorrow?

      But we’d wait for ever
      Our blood is blue and
      We would leave you never
      And when we make it
      It’ll be together
      Chelsea Chelsea, Chelsea Chelsea
      We’re gonna make this a Blue Day
      Chelsea Chelsea, Chelsea Chelsea
      We’re gonna make this a Blue Day
      We’ve got some memories
      Albeit from the Seventies when
      Ossie & Co restored our pride
      Now we’ve got hope, and a team, suddenly it’s not a dream
      We’ll keep the Blue Flag flying high
      We’ve waited so long
      But we’d wait for ever
      Our blood is blue and
      We would leave you never
      And when we make it
      It’ll be together

      Who are Terry Venables’ children?

      by

      FOOTBALL legend Terry Venables was best known for leading England to the Euro semi-finals in ‘96, but off the pitch, he was a father and husband. But who are his children and what did he say about them? Here’s what we know.
      Terry Venables had two daughters, Tracey and Nancy, with his first wife, ChristineCredit: News Group Newspapers Ltd
      Who are Terry Venables’ children? 
      Former England manager Terry “El Tel” Venables sadly passed away at the age of 80.
      He had two daughters from his first marriage. 
      Little is known about Terry’s daughters, but according to a 2014 interview with the Guardian, it seems Terry’s daughters were both born in the late 60s – early 70s.
      One of Terry’s daughters, Tracey Graham, appears to have followed her father into the football industry.
      Read more on football
      In 1997, Terry took up a post managing Tottenham Hotspur, before being appointed chief executive in 1991. 
      In 1993, Terry was dismissed from his post, and it was reported at the time that Tracey Venables, was also sacked from her job as National Membership Secretary at the club.
      Tracey, 23 at the time, had apparently worked at Spurs for over a year. 
      It was reported at the time that Terry’s daughter Tracey appeared at the Spurs North London grounds gates and announced: “I’ve just this minute been sacked. I’m very angry. I had no idea this was going to happen.”
      Most read in Football
      His other daughter is called Nancy, but little is known about what she does for a living. 
      Terry also has at least one grandson, Sam, who he mentioned in his 2014 autobiography, Born to Manage.
      What did Terry Venables say about his children? 
      Terry seemed to keep his private life private and rarely mentioned his children or family in public. 
      In his 2014 autobiography, he mentions the stress that his glittering football career had on his family. 
      After being appointed Barcelona manager in 1984, he recalled that the move culminated in the end of his marriage to his first wife, but that both parents “wanted to ensure that our two daughters understood they still had loving parents”. 
      The family seem close, as Terry makes references to family holidays in Majorca. 
      Who is Terry Venables’ ex-wife Christine?
      Terry married his first wife, Christine McCann, a dressmaker, in 1966. 
      In his autobiography, Terry wrote that they had met when they were 16 years old and got married while he was playing at Chelsea, his first club. 
      They had “drifted apart”, and his move to Barcelona as manager in 1984 precipitated their divorce. 
      The split was “as amicable as possible”.
      Terry was soon in a relationship with his second wife, Yvette Bazire, who he had met in his dad’s pub in Chingford, London.
      Yvette accompanied Terry to Barcelona, and the pair tied the knot seven years later, in 1991. More

      Who is Mike Brewer?
      Mark Brewer is a British television presenter and car enthusiast. 
      He was born in Lambeth, London, on August 28, 1964.
      Brewer is best known as the host of Wheeler Dealers, the Discovery Channel’s car programme, which he has presented since 2003. 
      The premise of the show is that Brewer and the other presenters have a mission to save old vehicles, fix up old cars on a budget, and sell them to a new owner.

      Brewer’s co-presenter has changed over the years: Edd China was his first co-host, followed by Ant Anstead, and most recently, Marc “Elvis” Priestley. 
      But Brewer is not only a presenter — alongside his television work, he is still active in the motor industry, and opened Mike Brewer Motors in 2012, a dealership in Sheffield. 
      He also launched the annual Used Car Award for used car dealers in the UK, a black-tie event in London. 
      What is Mike Brewer’s net worth?
      Brewer has an estimated net worth between $1.5 million and $4 million (£1.2 million to £3.2 million), owing to his long presenting career, and other business ventures.

      Some sources also indicate that his annual salary is $250,000. 
      Despite his motor industry fame, Brewer is famously down-to-earth.
      Is Mike Brewer married?
      Brewer is married to Michelle Brewer, whom he married in 1992.
      Michelle was born on June 9, 1962. 
      The pair are thought to live in Warwickshire and have one daughter together. 
      In a 2023 interview, Brewer opened up about the impact his career has had on his marriage, saying: “I’ve literally dedicated my life – 26 years actually – dedicated to this craft.
      “And I feel like it’s given me an amazing life but it’s also come at the cost of my marriage.”
      “But there comes a time when I look and I think, maybe I should spend more time with my wife? She drives me mad but I love being with her,” he added.
      Brewer often posts photos of Michelle with his Twitter followers, with captions such as: 
      “Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife  .. life with Michelle is wonderful, I’m so lucky. I love you tons”.
      Michelle, meanwhile, posts on Twitter under the username @MrsMBrewer. 
      In her Twitter bio, she describes herself as “The driving force behind #WheelerDealer”, so it appears the pair work as a team, and Michelle has a lot of involvement in the car industry. 
      What other shows has Mike Brewer presented?
      Brewer started his television career in 1997, on Channel 4’s Deals on Wheels, and ITV’s Pulling Power. 
      In 1999, he presented Driven on Channel 4 for one year. 
      Then in 2003, Wheeler Dealers started, on the Discovery Channel, which Brewer has presented ever since. 
      In 2009, Brewer presented another show on the Discovery Channel — Auto Trader.
      Since 2020, Brewer has also hosted the Wheeler Dealers spin-off show on the Discovery Channel, Wheeler Dealers: Dream Car. 
      For the Discovery Channel, Brewer has also presented Deals on Wheels, Wrecks to Riches, and Frontline Battle Machines.
      In 2020, Brewer took a turn co-hosting a show called The World’s Greatest Cars, on Quest. 
      Alongside television presenting, Brewer launched the Wheeler Dealer Podcast in February 2023, which has so far run for two series. 
      What cars has Mike Brewer owned?
      It comes as no surprise that Brewer has a significant collection of classic cars. 
      Brewer’s first car was a beige Mini 850cc, but he has driven a wide range of cars in the interim period. 
      In 2021, Brewer announced that despite ridiculing electric cars, he’d taken the plunge and bought himself a Porsche Taycan. 
      That same year, Brewer decided to auction off a selection of his own cars, many of which he’s restored and maintained himself, at the Silverstone Auctions at NEC Classic Motor Show.
      In the lot were a 1972 Citroen SM 2.7 four-seat coupé, a 1967 Mini Cooper 1275 S, a 1961 Austin Seven Mini 1961, a 1966 Ford Cortina Lotus Mk1, and a 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider F1.
      Despite his love for his collection of cars, Brewer’s schedule didn’t allow him the time to drive and car for all of them. 
      Brewer has previously said he believes classic cars “are there to be driven. I know that first hand because I’ve got a collection.”
      He said: “Buy something you love, buy something you’re interested in because when you love the car you’re much more likely to be willing to spend time on it, to look after it, to drive it.”
      Brewer also revealed that his Ford Fiesta Mk1 was stolen in June 2023, a car that had been restored by Brewer and Priestly to mark the 20th anniversary of Wheeler Dealers.
      Despite offering a £5000 reward for the card, as of November 2023, it has not been recovered. More
