Couch Celebrations
Got a great email from Michelle about fans and their armcair celebrations.
We've done some research about the way that fans celebrate when watching footy at home and have found that the number of injuries sustained is quite surprising (1 in 6 fans are injured at home). Off the back of this, we've polled and have found the UK public's favourite goal celebrations of all time are:
Goal celebrations hall of fame
1. The Psycho - Stuart Pearce's passionate penalty celebration against Spain in Euro '96
2. The Dambuster - David Beckham's run towards the crowd following his penalty against Argentina at the last World Cup
3. The Hipster - Cameroon's Roger Milla, dancing around the corner flag after each of his four goals in the 1990 World Cup Finals
4. The Dentist Chair - Paul Gascoigne's infamous pose after scoring against Scotland in Euro '96
5. Il Passione - Marco Tardelli's celebration for Italy after scoring the deciding goal in the 1982 World Cup Final against West Germany with Tardelli running through sheer joy, tears and shaking his head in disbelief
We have created a site to support this called:http://www.couchcelebrations.co.uk/ to encourage fans to film their own celebrations ahead of the World Cup.
My personal favorite will always be The psycho!
Check out site for a laugh you can send in video's of your self and mates copying the above and maybe win prizes!
