The 31-year-old, who won a single England cap four years ago, also went down memory lane - or Elland Road - with his choice of shirt for the event.

Ex-frontman Mark Viduka, 49, had his longest spell in English football with the Whites - from 2000-2004.

But it's just possible Viduka was referring to the hitman's kit rather than his musical ability as the Aussie posted: "What a privilege."
Bamford's effort was all the more remarkable as it followed

Daniel Farke's side are returning to the Premier League after two seasons out.

The 29-year-old has had a dire three years away after joining

And for now Wham Bam is the man - thanks to the Chiefs.
One fan raved: "Crowd were amazing and a lot of fun was had! Cameo performance from P Bamford an absolute highlight!!'

Limerick to edge Munster Hurling final classic says Patrick Bonner Maher
Styles make fights and former Tipperary attacker Patrick Bonner Maher has predicted a potential 'classic' Munster hurling final that will end with Limerick delivering the knock-out blow. Three-time All-Ireland winner Maher claimed five Munster titles before packing it in as a player last year. Speaking at the launch of the 2025 Electric Ireland All-Ireland minor championships, Maher suggested that Limerick are 'probably one or two points ahead' when it comes to calling a winner. What makes it really interesting from his perspective is the similar threats that both teams possess, from their ability to pick off points from long-range to their goal poaching potential. "If Limerick want to score goals, they're well able to score goals," said Maher. "They can mix it both ways, as can Cork. Cork are the same in that they have varying styles that they can go to, depending on different games. That's a great thing to have in your armoury, when you're a team that can mix it in different styles. "That ability has been hugely beneficial for both of them during the Championship, and in the league. They can both mix it." Maher pointed to the potential of both teams to grab match-winning goals. Cork have reeled off nine in their four games so far, compared to Limerick's five. Three of those Limerick goals came in the 3-26 to 1-16 defeat of Cork in Round 4. "Goals win games and, likewise, a goal going in against a team can really bring them down," said Maher. "A single goal can get the 16th man going and get the fans into the game, when there's a bit of trickery from the likes of Aaron Gillane or any of these boys, Pat Horgan, these fellas that can talk to a sliotar. "They can turn a game on its head by just a piece of individual brilliance."

Experts weigh in on whether you should reserve your sunbed with a towel on holiday EVERY summer, hotels become the sites of frantic battles, as guests try to reserve the best loungers with their towels first thing in the morning. But etiquette and "Unless the hotel has a reservation system in place, only occupy the sunbeds when you're staying by the pool." Renowned etiquette expert, , believes there is a 30-minute grace period on poolside reservations. This is where William told the Sun Online Travel: "In the morning, at the start of the day, and you're by the pool after breakfast, then it's fine at 8.30 to put your towel on the bed to reserve your spot. "But later on in the day after you've used the lounger, and go off for a massage, for example, which is going to be an hour, then you can't use a towel to reserve the sun lounger."

Advertisement The manager claimed Susan's attitude had been "sarcastic and dismissive" to staff who did their best to accommodate her. The hotelier also fiercely defended the menu, saying the food service is "generous and diverse, offering fresh salads, fruits, hot and cold dishes daily".

And as for the "no English food" dig - Makis said the Sun Hotel offers "world-renowned and beloved Mediterranean cuisine" with other options tailored to guests' preferences - including those from the UK.

Three Premier League clubs monitoring Dara O'Shea as Ipswich Town chairman acknowledges relegation reality
DARA O'SHEA is in line for a quick return to the Premier League - but Ipswich Town have insisted they are not under pressure to sell. O'Shea was acknowledged as having an impressive first season at Portman Road, despite the club making an immediate return to the Championship. 2 He and Nathan Collins are established as Ireland's first-choice paring in central defence 2 The pacy 26-year-old has proven he's good enough for the Premier League Credit: Reuters That was reflected in him being named as the club's Player of the Year, ahead of Ireland-eligible, SunSport understands that his former club Burnley, Wolves and Leeds United are all weighing up a move for O'Shea, who is set to start for Ireland against Senegal tomorrow. Ipswich beat off competition from Wolves and Brentford to sign the Dubliner from the Clarets last summer. The Bees signed Dutch defender Sepp Van der Berg but it is believed Wolves are ready to renew their interest, along with newly-promoted duo Burnley and Leeds. Read More On Irish Football Ipswich paid an initial £12m for the ex-St Kevin's Boys player last August with not all of the £3m add-ons realised because of their failure to dodge the drop. The Tractor Boys will rake in £30m - the relegation clause in his contract - from the sale of Delap. The 26-year-old is one of their most valuable assets with Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrímsson suggesting he would not be short of offers in the close-season. But Ipswich chairman Mark Ashton insisted there will not be an exodus from the club. Most read in Football Ashton said: 'We're not into fire sales. We haven't got to sell a multitude of players, but one or two players will be traded out to give ourselves that headroom and the ability to move forward. 'I think it's important fans understand that one of the challenges you've got when you come down is you've got to retain, because we're going to have suitors for players. Watch Robbie Brady aim hilarious dig at Ireland teammates after winning Player of the Year award 'So as much as you've got to recruit you've got to retain, you've got to work hard to make sure you've got those players locked down.' Meanwhile, Robbie Brady Brady beat off competition from Caoimhín Kelleher and Nathan Collins to collect the award which he previously won in 2016. In a video posted by the FAI from the team meeting room, Brady said: 'I didn't expect to win it. It shows how s***e youse have all been if I'm winning this!' 'I was obviously out of camp for a while and I was delighted to get myself back in. "I'm buzzing with this so thanks for everything and helping me pick this up.' Brady, 33, won just three caps between March 2021 and March 2024 but has started 10 out of Ireland's last 12 games, missing two with an ankle injury. He chipped in with a goal and an assist in the 2-1 win in Finland last October, Hallgrímsson's first victory as manager.
