Milan striker Mario Balotelli is famously inept when it comes to putting on items of clothing one normally would not find in a civilian wardrobe.

The flamboyant Italy international send millions into fits of laughter when he failed to place a bib over his head following multiple attempts while he was at Manchester City.

And now he is in Italy’s fashion capital, he has adopted the classic celebrity solution to his sartorial problems – by employing a stylist.

Antonio Nocerino is a man’s man, though, so he looks somewhat put upon in this video, as he helps Super Mario get his kit on.

In one of the stranger incidents in snooker, Graeme Dott’s World Championship match with Shaun Murphy was held up after the Scot suffered multiple static electricity shocks at the table.

It’s been a strange event at the Crucible so far, with a number of gaffes amusing viewers – including two in the same match as referee Michaela Tabb and player Dechawat Poomjaeng both had meltdowns in separate incidents.

But they were down to human error under pressure, while Dott’s mishap was a natural phenomenon of freakish proportions.

Dott, the 2006 champion, looked bemused as he was forced to pull his

Tennis legend Roger Federer was born and raised in Basel, so it’s no surprise that he would attend their biggest ever match, the Europa League semi-final against Chelsea.

Sporting a trendy leather bomber jacket, Fed seems to be having a good enough time as he watches on with a friend, although he is a touch late getting back to his seat after half-time.

Unfortunately for the Swiss master, his heroes lost 2-1 thanks to a free-kick from David Luiz in the dying seconds, although if football took a leaf out of his own sport’s book, HawkEye would never have allowed Basel’s dodgy penalty equaliser

Slow play on the golf course has been a point of contention in recent weeks, with China's teenage sensation Tianlang Gua given a penalty in his second round at The Masters for taking too long over a shot.

So what better way to speed things up than unleash a highly dangerous amphibious reptile on the fairway?

Golfers, caddies and officials look shocked when an alligator made an entrance at this week's Zurich Classic in Aondale, Louisiana.

The TV commentators were less put out by the uninvited guest, joking that the three-legged beast was 'remote controlled' and a deliberate attempt by the PGA

Frisbee trick shot master Brodie Smith has become a YouTube sensation thanks to his unbelievable skills with the disc.

A three-time national champion in Ultimate Frisbee, Smith is also a Guinness World Record Holder and one of the most explosive talents on the scene.

Now he has exported his unique brand of trick shots to China, where Smith has been wowing the locals with exhibitions of his skills.

The biggest recommendation we can give this video is that Smith is so good, you wonder if some of his shots can be real...

The global spread of American football has been a slow process. There are a sprinkling of foreign-born players in the NFL but, more than America's other major professional sports, it is a game which relies almost entirely on home-bred players.

But on Thursday, on the opening day of the annual draft where teams go searching for the players they hope will win them a Super Bowl, there was a small sea change that offered a fresh insight into the changing face of the game.

Three players, one from west Africa, one from Europe and another from the Southern Pacific Ocean, were among the 32

The Kansas City Chiefs opened the 2013 NFL Draft by selecting offensive tackle Eric Fisher of Central Michigan as the number one overall pick, establishing a trend at the top of the draft.

The 6-foot 7-inch, 306-pound Fisher became the first offensive tackle to go number one since Jake Long was chosen by the Miami Dolphins in 2008 and only the fourth tackle ever taken first.

Fisher added his name to a select list that also included Orlando Pace (1999 St. Louis) and Ron Yary (1968 Minnesota), the only other offensive tackles named as the top overall picks.

"This is so surreal. This is a dream

They say that the World Championship at the Crucible is the ultimate 'marathon of the mind', and officials and players alike struggled to keep their heads in a gaffe-strewn match on Thursday.

Even referee Michaela Tabb lost her composure after she picked up the white cue ball, mistaking it for the black, and proceeded to place it on the pink spot - much to the amusement of some of the crowd.

Tabb, who also inexplicably decided to leave the blue off the table at the start of a frame during the match, hastily worked out with the help of TV commentators and the players where to put the cue ball
