WWE star shows off Bohemians Oasis jersey in front of millions of people
The popular wrestler returned to action on Monday and did so with a splash as he wore the Oasis-inspired Bohemians jersey. And with Netflix now broadcasting Monday Night Raw, the jersey would have been seen by millions.
Although Zayn could well be a surprise long-time Bohemians fan, it is more likely that he was gifted the jersey by Gypsies die-hard and fellow WWE Superstar Sheamus.
The Finglas native is a long-time fan of the Phibsborough outfit and has been on hand to lend his support to the club on different occasions.
For Bohemians, it represents great publicity for the club and its limited edition strip. The fan-owned club teamed up with Oasis ahead of the reunion tour, with half of the profits raised from the Oasis shirt going to charity, with a split between Music Generation Ireland and Irish Community Care Manchester, while the other half goes to the club itself.
The League of Ireland club has made waves internationally with its kit choices. Previously, it had jerseys with Thin Lizzy, Bob Marley, and Fontaines DC branding. It has also teamed up with Guinness in the past and had a Dublin Bus-themed jersey.
Oasis comes to Ireland next month, and their reunion tour is currently in full swing. The Gallagher brothers have played two sold-out shows in Cardiff and five shows in Manchester's Heaton Park.
Focus now turns to London, where they will perform five sold-out Wembley Stadium Shows before heading north to Murrayfield, where they will perform three times before heading over to Dublin.
After that, things go further afield with shows all across North America and then east towards South Korea, Japan, and Australia.
As for Zayn, his colleagues will be in Ireland next month for a live recording of WWE SmackDown.

League of Ireland legend backs Oasis inspired fundraiser for cancer-hit family
League of Ireland legend Dane Massey has given his backing to a fundraiser that has been inspired by the collaboration between Bohemians and rock legends Oasis. Junior football giants Templeogue United have released a jersey with 'over35s' in the iconic Oasis font where the sponsor's logo would be. The shirt retails at €35, with all proceeds going to the O'Neill family, who have been 'at the heart' of Templeogue United 'for over 30 years'. According to the club website: 'The O'Neills have been lifelong supporters, players, and volunteers at Templeogue United. But tragedy has touched their lives not once, but twice. 'Their son Tiernan tragically passed away from cancer at the age of 15. And now, heartbreakingly, their 17-year-old son Ultan is facing his own battle with cancer. 'This jersey is more than fabric – it's a tribute to the O'Neill family's resilience, and a way for our community to stand firmly beside them during this unimaginable time.' Massey, a five-time Premier Division winner with Dundalk, now lines out for Templeogue's Over-35s. A key figure in Stephen Kenny's all-conquering Lilywhites outfit, he also collected three FAI Cups, and was named in the PFA Ireland Team of the Year in 2015. Massey, now 37, played in Dundalk's historic Europa League group stage campaign, while injury meant he missed their return to the group stages in 2020. His eight-year spell at Oriel Park came to an end when he joined Louth rivals Drogheda United ahead of the 2021 season, while he finished his League of Ireland career at his first senior club Bray Wanderers. According to the Templeogue website, the shirt is 'inspired by the iconic Bohemian FC x Oasis collaboration. 'All proceeds from the jersey sales go directly to the O'Neills. Whether it's to ease financial pressure or simply show them they're not alone, every contribution helps. 'The jersey may echo a famous design, but this one is uniquely ours. It's a grassroots fundraiser, built on friendship, loyalty, and the belief that football clubs should always look after their own.' You can buy the shirt here.

Why ‘French girl hair' is the ultimate cool summer look & how to copy it – from ‘Birkin bangs' to underdone bobs
Messy, sexy, can't-be-bothered hair is the look of the moment — and the French have been doing it forever. From Bardot to 5 Brigitte Bardot's messy-chic French look is back in Credit: Alamy 5 TikTok is obsessed with Daisy Edgar-Jones' French girl look Credit: getty TikTok is obsessed, searches for ' But what actually is French girl hair and how do you get it without spending hours with straighteners or forking out hundreds at a salon? Well, the magic is in the mess. French girl hair is never too neat, too bouncy or too 'done'. Read more on hair Less is more 5 French songwriter, Louise Verneuil, asks for an 'easy cut' Think cool, tousled, soft texture, and just the right amount of volume that says 'I didn't try,' even though you definitely did. Paris-based hair pros say the whole aesthetic is about pretending not to care. Louise Verneuil, a French singer-songwriter told 'It suggests you don't have time but still look cool. The French way is always 'less is more'.' Most read in Fabulous The songwriter said she doesn't ask for a glam blow-dry or anything too neat when she visits her hairdresser. More than half of Americans admire the French way of life, with good work-life balance topping the list, survey shows She goes for an 'easy cut' to suit her hair and mood. Louise added: "I prefer something timeless — something fun, not too perfect, that mixes all the movies, books and heroines I love.' So no poker-straight strands, no chunky highlights, and definitely no extensions down to your bum. Instead, it's lived-in layers, French actress, Isabelle Huppert is a great example of how to achieve this look, with her tousled mid-length look. Some women even go a week without washing, tying their hair into a messy bun or low chignon when it starts to look greasy. But don't be fooled, while it may look scruffy, it actually starts with really healthy hair. French women invest in good care and keep styling to a minimum. Hairstylist Sam McKnight told The Times: 'French women really look after the health of their hair. "They purposefully underdo it on the styling front." A diffuser is a secret weapon if you've got natural waves or just rough dry your hair and twist sections as you go. Ditch the hairbrush and use your fingers to add texture, volume and that perfectly imperfect finish. Birkin Bangs 5 Jane Birkin's iconic hair-do features wispy bangs and soft, messy hair Credit: Getty And of course, no French-inspired hair look would be complete without a signature fringe. To get the 'Birkin bang' you'll want to go short in the middle, longer at the sides, and then softly frames the eyes. It's wispy, windy, and looks best when it's just a little out of place. Underdone bobs 5 Isabelle Huppert wears a stylish long bob French haircuts tend to be timeless, boho and a bit undone, not too sharp, not too polished. Think chipped-in bobs, grown-out pixies and shoulder-length chops that have a bit of rock 'n' roll about them. French actress, Isabelle Huppert is a great reference for this look. And just because you're getting older doesn't mean chopping it all off. French girl hair isn't really about trends or tools. It's about confidence, coolness and pretending you didn't try, even if you totally did. How often should you be washing your hair? Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at You take your hair and scalp to the same places you take your face, and it gets just as dirty. Your scalp is also a living tissue; it sweats, produces oils and sheds skin cells. You wouldn't leave two days between washing your face, and you likely wouldn't wear the same outfit more than a few times before washing it – apply the same thinking to your hair. It is a myth that washing your hair too often causes your hair to get greasier.
