YouTube top 10: because Glentoran’s Leon Knight is officially mental

Sergio Garcia, a crazy baseball coach and ‘Arry also feature in this week’s countdown.

10. Want to see the best goal of Euro 2012 so far one more time? Of course you do.

9. If only all coaches were as weird as Bobby Valentine. Could you imagine Alex Ferguson grunting along to a rap?

8. BREAKING: Sports car racing can be really dangerous, as Anthony Davidson discovered recently (if he didn’t know already). Thankfully, he emerged from the incident without suffering any serious injuries.

7. Harry Redknapp will be missed as a Premier League manager. One aspect of his memorable managerial stint at Tottenham will be his now legendary car window chats, usually to dismiss speculation about a certain player that the club are in fact on the verge of signing:

6. This Nike clip is notable for showing a nearly naked Wayne Rooney and not a lot else quite frankly. I miss the glory days of Brazilian players casually demonstrating their football skills in airports.

5. Note to Sergio Garcia: please stick to using golf clubs for their traditional purpose. The TV industry could do without having to constantly produce funds for new microphones.

4. So baseball is pretty big in Kenya apparently. Or so these kids re-enacting the 1986 World Series would have you believe.

3. Anyone wondering why a player as mediocre as Robbie Fowler seemed to be at the end of his career still managed to have a relatively successful stint in the A-League need only consult the series of clips below to find out.

2. In case you missed it, or were too lazy to get out of bed, here’s a full look at what will surely be the closest Ireland come to beating New Zealand for a very long time:

1. Yes Glentoran’s Leon Knight commentates over his own goals. He’s also mental by the way:

    Good videos but, Robbie Fowler? Mediocre?

    I’m no Liverpool fan, but that’s patently nonsense. The guy scored 163 Premier League goals. Only Henry, Cole and Shearer scored more.

    Of the still active players, Rooney and Lampard will probaby catch him, but he was in no way a mediocre player.

    Hi Paul,

    Keep in mind I wrote that he was mediocre at the end of his career. I agree that he was a great player initially.

    Knight’s a bit of an eejit, Remeber when he was at Chelsea, Highly rated, but never reached his potential. So many spats with employers, Rushden, Coleraine, etc etc. Apparently he was living in London and Coleraine were paying for his travel expense’s to games, Ony Messi deserves that kind of treatment, maybe Ronaldo. But not a Irish premierleage player.
