Santa and football are two very important elements of Christmas – so why not combine the two by dressing as the big man while going to a game?
It’s become a time honoured tradition up and down the land, and in some ways it works perfectly.
Santa is famously jolly, and when are football fans jollier than when celebrating a goal like this Stoke supporter a couple of years ago?
Some fans refuse to dress in anything other than their club’s colours on match day, so for this Celtic-supporting Santa, a red suit was out of the question.
That’s what happened to this poor Wolves fan at Friday’s 2-0 defeat against Liverpool.
