YouTube top 10: because Glentoran’s Leon Knight is officially mental

Sergio Garcia, a crazy baseball coach and ‘Arry also feature in this week’s countdown.

10. Want to see the best goal of Euro 2012 so far one more time? Of course you do.

9. If only all coaches were as weird as Bobby Valentine. Could you imagine Alex Ferguson grunting along to a rap?

8. BREAKING: Sports car racing can be really dangerous, as Anthony Davidson discovered recently (if he didn’t know already). Thankfully, he emerged from the incident without suffering any serious injuries.

7. Harry Redknapp will be missed as a Premier League manager. One aspect of his memorable managerial stint at Tottenham will be his now legendary car window chats, usually to dismiss speculation about a certain player that the club are in fact on the verge of signing:

6. This Nike clip is notable for showing a nearly naked Wayne Rooney and not a lot else quite frankly. I miss the glory days of Brazilian players casually demonstrating their football skills in airports.

5. Note to Sergio Garcia: please stick to using golf clubs for their traditional purpose. The TV industry could do without having to constantly produce funds for new microphones.

4. So baseball is pretty big in Kenya apparently. Or so these kids re-enacting the 1986 World Series would have you believe.

3. Anyone wondering why a player as mediocre as Robbie Fowler seemed to be at the end of his career still managed to have a relatively successful stint in the A-League need only consult the series of clips below to find out.

2. In case you missed it, or were too lazy to get out of bed, here’s a full look at what will surely be the closest Ireland come to beating New Zealand for a very long time:

1. Yes Glentoran’s Leon Knight commentates over his own goals. He’s also mental by the way:

    James is right. These universities make millions off these athletes and don’t pay them. The NBA need to change their eligibility rules to allow highschool players enter the NBA. Get rid of the ‘One and Done’

    @Stipe Miocic: These universities are making billions from these athletes. Players are not allowed get part-time jobs, get gifts or endorsements and sometimes have to get their parents to pay for everyday meals that the players can’t afford.

    @EK: it’s a ridiculous state of affairs, the ‘education’ these kids get is a joke, the majority don’t complete their respective degrees, and the old ‘they’re getting a free education’ is nonsense, a few years ago Time magazine did a piece about it and what SEC colleges were making, it was around the time Johnny Manziel got suspended for getting paid for an autograph signing, that year the University of Texas ‘Longhorns’ revenue from their football program was $105 million, profit on that, $85million, there isn’t too many businesses with margins like that

    @Ruairí Mul: in the week just gone there was a Notre Dame footballer who tweeted he was ‘broke and starving’, someone from south bend (where the college is based) responded saying he was welcome in their home for dinner, if he had taken up their offer he would be in breach of NCAA rules
