It's one of the more bizarre world records, but a new video claims to be a world record for backflips done on a pogo stick.

Until last week the record was believed to be held by a man called Fred Gryzbowski and was just nine but that has now been smashed by a guy called Dmitry Arsenyev.

Arsenyev manages to do an astonishing 15 backflips before nonchalantly walking away.

Fair play to him for using a helmet too – safety first kids.

It started with a chivalrous act gone wrong, was followed by a beer bath and ended with a high-five.

A couple caught the attention of baseball fans at Wrigley Field on Sunday and the ones watching at home on TV. Why? His-and-her beer baths!

It happened when Chicago Cubs pitcher Travis Wood hit a home run to left field in the fifth inning. A husband in the bleachers tried to protect his wife from the ball, but in the process spilled his beer on her. So, in return, she dumped her beer on his head.

While retiring defender Paulo Ferreira spoke to the Stamford Bridge crowd after Chelsea's final match of the season, backup goalkeeper Ross Turnbull's two-year-old son Josh became one of the highlights of the year.

Wearing his full kit, Josh dribbled a ball towards goal all by himself. He stumbled on top of the ball at one point, but continued on as the crowd urged him to shoot.

The Brooklyn Nets just about define the superficial experience.

Part-owner Jay-Z helped shape the team’s look and image, despite only owning a small percentage of the team, and not even making it out of the franchise’s first year before selling his shares. And the team’s arena, the Barclays Center, followed the latest trends with

Queens Park Rangers have been criticised for splashing the cash on expensive signings - but their latest capture has not cost a penny and comes with pretty good genes.

The recently relegated club have snapped up Brooklyn Beckham for their academy side, according to the Daily Mail, as he looks to shoulder the family's football hopes after his father's retirement last weekend.

It is quite a coup for Rangers, who may have expected the young Beckham to join a Premier League side.

His dad, of course, will forever be associated with Manchester United in this country - while Brooklyn himself is said

The home and away kits that Barcelona will wear next season have been unveiled, revealing a take on tradition.

La Blaugrana will maintain blue and red colouring for the home jersey, as well as switching back for next season to a regular and more traditional striped pattern, with a yellow V-shaped collar marked out. The shorts and socks are blue, with the socks including yellow detailing.

The away style, as reported as far back as last September, adopts the colours and design of the Senyera, the flag that represents four of Spain’s autonomous communities - Catalonia, Aragon, Valencia and the

There are three kind of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics. But these bunch of stats from our friends at Opta certainly make for interesting reading.

Suppose every shot that hit the woodwork this season had counted as a goal, the Premier League table would have taken on a very different look.

Tottenham Hotspur fans would have been partying hard thinking of the Champions League next term and the riches it bring rather than the slightly impoverished Europa League.

Andre Villas-Boas's side would have finished third in the Premier League table with 76 points netting 83 goals if not for those
