It is a tradition in modern football for players who score against their old club to keep their celebrations down to a bare minimum, if show any emotion at all. But not if you are Emmanuel Adebayor. After scoring for Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium against previous club Arsenal, in September 2009, the Togo international decided to run the entire length of the pitch and slide down onto his knees in front of an apoplectic away section. The plastic chair in the picture is just one of many objects that was launched in his direction. Adebayor would later claim his reaction was down to racist abuse he had received off Gunners fans.

There are various ways footballers choose to mark that magnificent moment when a goal has been scored.

Maybe they favour the same trademark celebration, ranging from somersaults, shadow boxing the corner flag to a more sedate one arm raised in the air.

How about a little jig next to the corner flag, a robot dance in the penalty area or maybe roaring so loudly it looks like the eyes are going to pop out of your head.

Some choose to kick lumps out advertising hoardings, others decide to run down to other end of the stadium to enrage opposition fans, while tickles some player's fancy to swing a golf in the same manner they attacked a teammate days earlier in a hotel room.

Take a glide through the photo gallery above, as we pick out some of the classic moments from the world of football goal celebrations.

Pharaoh's curse

British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.

How tumultuous protests grew
  • A fuel tax protest by French drivers appealed to wider anti-government sentiment
  • Unlike previous French demonstrations there was no trade union or organised movement involved 
  • Demonstrators responded to online petitions and flooded squares to block traffic
  • At its height there were almost 300,000 on the streets in support
  • Named after the high visibility jackets that drivers must keep in cars 
  • Clashes soon turned violent as thousands fought with police at cordons
  • An estimated two dozen people lost eyes and many others were admitted to hospital

Tearful appearance

Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday. 

Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow. 

She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.

A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.

One in nine do not have enough to eat

Created in 1961, the World Food Programme is pledged to fight hunger worldwide as well as providing emergency food assistance in a crisis.

One of the organisation’s goals is the Zero Hunger Pledge, adopted by the international community in 2015 as one of the 17 Sustainable Goals for Sustainable Development, to end world hunger by 2030.

The WFP, a branch of the United Nations, is funded by voluntary donations from governments, businesses and private donations.

Almost two thirds of its operations currently take place in conflict zones, where it is calculated that people are more than three times likely to suffer from malnutrition than in peaceful countries.

It is currently estimated that one in nine people globally do not have enough to eat.

On any one day, the WFP estimates that it has 5,000 lorries, 20 ships and 70 aircraft on the move.

Outside emergencies, the WFP provides school meals to up to 25 million children in 63 countries, while working with communities to improve nutrition. Where possible, it buys supplies from developing countries to cut down transport cost and boost local economies.
