LA ladies spaff £9,000 to see The Latics get beaten

*Actual cheerleaders involved in this story were not this hot or drunk

After getting chatted up by meeting some Oldham Athletic players while on holiday in the Cayman Islands this summer, Californian cheerleaders Sara Mathew and Amber Allen were inspired to see the Latics play.

After slaying the dragon named common sense, the 23-year-olds decided to Fly 11,000 miles from the glamorous surroundings of Beverly Hills to the slightly-less-glamorous surroundings of Greater Manchester. They made a pilgrimage to a rain-sodden Boundary Park before heading down to Bermondsey, with tickets to see last month’s League One clash with Millwall.

Oldham lost the match 2-0, but the girls were clearly undeterred by the result and the £9,000 price tag. Sara said:

“Being welcomed into the community of Oldham fans was like being part of a family we’ve never had.”

The girls are planning to return in December, and as a thank you to their impressive commitment. Oldham have promised to “roll out the red carpet” upon their return.

“Look at me!” screams Mr. B’s ridiculous ride

David Beckham is a man whose celebrity attracts an incredible amount of attention whenever he hits the streets, and some days he needs to slip around Los Angeles anonymously, so he may run errands and shield his children from the glare of the world’s media. Yesterday was not one of those days, as the LA Galaxy star took his brand new $407,000 Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe for a spin around Beverly Hills. A Roller is a classic choice for a distinguished gentleman, but no human being in the world could possibly look good in this bastardised Pimp My Ride version. His new toy only gets eleven miles to the gallon, meaning he’ll probably have to fill up by the time he reaches the end of his driveway.
