Singing for support

If by any chance Planet Football goes AWOL in and around April 17th don't be alarmed - we'll be in Norway busy screeching "spit on me Rune". Last week we read with frenzied interest of Norwegian first division side Lillestroem's plans to hire "pop star and self-styled champion lover" Rune Rudberg to entertain the girlies at the team's game against Bryne on April 17th. The club hopes Rune's magnetism will attract nigh on a 1,000 women to the fixture, upping the average attendance to 6,000, a prospect that doesn't fluster Norway's answer to Dickie Rock at all, at all. "To woo 1,000 women won't be a problem - I can perform both before and after the match," he winked, suggestively.
