The Spanish fan with ‘Casillas’ on his shirt almost spat his beer out when the Real Madrid goalkeeper’s gorgeous TV presenter girlfriend Sara Carbonero walked in to the Shakhtar Plaza Hotel. Sadly for him, the rumour is that the glamorous couple are soon to marry.

Well-known football fanatic Elton John — a former chairman of Watford Football Club — is coming to Kiev this Friday to do a free concert in the fan zone in support of AIDS charities. Offered payment by the organisers, Elton refused. A noble gesture indeed.
