Premier League star wows thousands of fans as he plays guitar on stage with the Kaiser Chiefs at huge anniversary gig
THE Kaiser Chiefs pulled off the loan transfer coup of the summer - in front of thousands of delirious fans. Leeds' promotion-winning striker Patrick Bamford joined the rockers' homecoming gig on stage with a guitar. 4 Patrick Bamford seemed to enjoy his cameo almost as much as winning promotion back to the Premier League... almost! 4 Kalvin Phillips tagged in Patrick Bamford and Middlesbrough's ex-Leeds hero Luke Ayling in his Instagram post 4 Bamford made a crowd-pleasing appearance Kalvin Phillips then heightened talk of a return to Elland Road by labelling his former team-mate a "legend" for his cameo. Bamford electrified the atmosphere at Leeds' Temple Newsam still further as the crowd loved his surprise cameo. The Kaiser Chiefs are best known for their massive hit I Predict a Riot, which was also the theme tune for the Whites' party after Championship title glory last month. But no-one predicted Bamford's appearance at the gig on the 20th anniversary of the group's first album.

The 29-year-old has had a dire three years away after joining Manchester City, typified by injury and then mediocre loan spells at West Ham and Ipswich. Phillips bigged up Bamford on Instagram as he responded to the star's rocking intervention by posting: "What an absolute legend". That's also the status Phillips had at his hometown club Leeds. But the anchorman he could be out for two months following surgery on an Achilles problem. 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!!' Another wrote: "Great day out at what was a mini-festival more than a gig. Kaiser Chiefs were amazing, bringing Patrick Bamford and the Championship trophy out on stage added to a very Leeds-centric gig (so many LUFC shirts there)."

Six-year-old 'Chaos Kid' Charlie could be UK's youngest wrestler
A SIX-year-old Isle of Wight boy is believed to be the UK's youngest wrestling performer. Charlie Jennings, from Cowes — aka The Chaos Kid — opened Outcast Pro Wrestling's Easter show at The Bay School in Sandown. It was a landmark for the youngster. His mum, Hayley Attrill, said: "I used to watch wrestling on the telly, and, as Charlie got a bit older, I took him to an Outcast Pro Wrestling show in May last year. Charlie Jennings, aka The Chaos Kid, had his opponent on the ropes. (Image: Hayley Attrill) (Image: Outcast Pro Wrestling) "Going to that ignited a passion in him. He just came alive." Hayley then took Charlie, aged five at the time, along to an open day at the Outcast Pro Wrestling academy in Sandown last year, and he did a trial session. "He just loved it — and he's been going to training there ever since." Charlie, the club's youngest member, attends Lanesend Primary School. He is not yet old enough to compete, but he does 'performance' wrestling. The club's head coach, wrestler Matt Jackson, aka Jackson Arrow, trains wrestlers of all skill levels and ages, starting from seven — with the exception of Charlie.

"But the coaches are so good — teaching him discipline, respect, good technique and how to do wrestling safely, in a friendly environment." Charlie is such a hit at the academy, he was invited to take part in the Outcast Academy Show, watched by more than 100 wrestling fanatics, which included his mum, brother and grandparents. The second annual family show featured trainees taking on adults, with Charlie opening it against 17-year-old Corey Ace. When Charlie appeared, from behind a curtain, to Kaiser Chief's I Predict a Riot, there was raucous applause and cheering.

"He was high-fiving everyone, standing on the ropes," continued Hayley. "Regarding the show, Charlie said he wants to do it again. "His favourite part was coming out through the curtain and the crowd cheering him." Since joining the club, his mum says wrestling has "brought him out of his shell". "Charlie was shy before he started doing wrestling," said Hayley. "He now wants to be a WWE wrestler when he's older. I'd be happy to see him do it, definitely."
