It looks like the glamourously world of the football mascot has spread to the celebrity circuit, because Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Lion as he now likes to be called), has declared that he wants in.

Both Londoners, media darlings and wrapped in St George patriotism, Harry Redknapp and David Beckham are a super-bromance just waiting to happen. Despite perceived wisdom that the former England skipper would be out of his depth in the top tier of football, he has always been backed by a splurge of superlatives from good ol’ Harry.

She’s got a good few teams interested in her at the moment, but she’s got to get back playing
Football fans can sort of handle Justin Bieber. There is very little crossover between Bieber fans and football fans, so he can stay very much off our radar, which is absolutely ideal. But maybe not for much longer.
