The (not so) Beautiful Game...
 

Two consecutive weeks running for the Sunday Times to score with a witty.

Some would say it takes balls, others that it's a load of old bollocks and one does have to question the extent to which fan loyalty ought to go - but then he was Welsh! - in any event there are bound to be some 'Ooooooos' and sharp intakes of breath from male readers:

'Rugby fan Geoffrey Huish has told how he cut off his testicles to celebrate Wale's victory over England earlier this year. Geoffrey told friends before the game: "If Wales win this, I'll cut my balls off!". And after his team won 11-9, he was as good as his word, hacking away at himself with a pair of blunt wire cutters. "I took about 10 minutes and there was quite a lot of pain," he told The Sun (newspaper). "The cutters were blunt so I just had to keep snipping. I think about what happened every day, and still haven't come up with a good reason why. I can't have kids now, but still want a family. Maybe I'll adopt." Geoffrey, 31, is single.'

No wonder.
