Messi's ex-Navy Seal and MMA fighter bodyguard even follows him around pitch
Messi's ex-Navy Seal and MMA fighter bodyguard even follows him around pitch
Lionel Messi goes nowhere without his ex-Navy Seal and MMA fighter bodyguard - not even the football pitch apparently. Fans have noticed that Yassine Chueko has been getting his Inter Miami training gear on, and marks Messi up and down the pitch during games, and even runs onto the pitch during goal celebrations. However, some have been quick to point out that it's 'unfair' that a muscular guard is following Messi around on the pitch, making other players too intimidated to tackle him.

Arsenal star admits that he thought he was a time traveller
Arsenal star admits that he thought he was a time traveller
Time travellers are everywhere on TikTok (and perhaps even in real life?) recently, and there's been crossover in the world of football as well. Cult 90s footballer Anders Limpar played for Arsenal, as well as Everton and Birmingham City, and the Swedish winger made a real impact during his time in English football winning the First Division title and the FA Cup. However, it turns out his time playing in the Premier League was just as interesting for his experiences off the field as it was for his playing career. Football fans might know that he opened a bar after his playing days came to an end by opening the brilliantly named The Limp Bar in Stockholm. Now, he’s spoken about the time he was the victim of an elaborate prank, which for a while made him believe he had travelled in time. The prank was staged as part of the TV show Blasningen, which cost an incredible £200,000 to put together and took place over the course of two days. Speaking to Ladbrokes Fanzone, Limpar said: “There were 20 guys involved, all to fool me, and I just bit. I was perfect for them. "I believed I was flying in a time machine because we were already in an actual plane from Gothenburg to launch our new beer.” He added: "There were these two 'scientists' on the flight who were talking about being able to time travel, and the plane was diving up and down all over the place. "I can laugh at it all now, but at the time it was really, really scary. They involved actual jet fighters to guide us into Stockholm. We could hear everything over the radio, ‘Where have you been?! You've just shown up on the radar!' Limpar went on: “The whole production was so cleverly done. I felt it was all real. It was absolutely crazy. We had two doctors on board in case I flipped. I'm just thinking, 'What the f*** is going on?!' “This science guy just goes, 'I've done it. I've flown two years in time.' “I went into the pilot shouting at him, demanding to speak to the tower. He ordered me to go back and put my seatbelt on. We were fighting with them in the plane because we wanted to know what was going on." Recounting the story, he added: “It was such a horrible feeling. We thought we were dead. When we landed, we were told they'd had funerals for us and everything. "They showed us newspapers - which obviously weren't real - where crazy things had apparently happened. They told us Norway had won the World Cup in 1998. I was so glad when the guy finally showed up to tell us it was all a prank. I felt like I'd had a rucksack full of stones just fall off my back, I was so relieved. “I couldn't believe it. I was happy, of course, but I felt ridiculous for something like half an hour afterwards, to even think that I was flying two years into the future. But for years afterwards I was angry with it all because it made me a laughing stock in Sweden. I wasn't happy with that at all. That's why, when they asked me if they could sell the whole thing as a DVD, I said no.” He continued: "Look, it was an incredible prank, so funny when I look back now, and I felt so many emotions at the time.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Have your say in our news democracy.

Bill Kenwright to stay on as Everton chairman despite supporter protests
Bill Kenwright to stay on as Everton chairman despite supporter protests
Bill Kenwright will stay on in his role as Everton chairman, the Premier League club have announced. Following the departures of chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale, chief finance officer Grant Ingles and non-executive director and former striker Graeme Sharp last week, the future of long-serving chairman Kenwright had appeared in doubt. However, Everton owner Farhad Moshiri revealed on Friday morning that Kenwright had accepted his request to remain at the club and help them through a period of transition. The recent board changes came in the wake of numerous supporter protests, with Kenwright, who has spent 19 years in his current role and is understood to have been planning to step down, the main target for fans’ anger. “I wanted Bill to remain as our chairman during this important period of transition for the club and I am delighted that he has accepted my request to do so,” Moshiri said in a statement on the Everton website. “Bill’s knowledge and vast experience will be crucial for us as we look to reset, deliver on external investment and position Everton for a successful future.” Everton also announced the appointment of Colin Chong as interim chief executive and director, while James Maryniak becomes interim chief finance officer. Chong is currently the chief stadium development officer and has been focusing on the move to Bramley-Moore Dock, with Maryniak the club’s director of finance. “In Colin and James, we have two experienced senior club professionals who have agreed to take on enhanced roles on an interim basis, and who we know can and will deliver immediately,” Moshiri said. As part of the changes, majority shareholder Moshiri will also join the board as a non-executive director alongside John Spellman, an experienced chartered accountant and Everton supporter. American investors MSP Capital are close to agreeing a deal to buy a stake in the club, possibly up to 25 per cent. Everton are also facing a Premier League charge for breaching profit and sustainability rules, having made cumulative losses of more than £430million over the last four seasons.
