If you’re a regular on Twitter, you may have noticed a certain Toon legend’s bizarre post recently.
Tino Asprilla is not exactly one to have shied away from controversy in the past – allegedly shooting at security guards in Colombia and making his Newcastle team-mates watch his partner in a porn film just to name a few stories – but his latest ‘activity’ is beyond belief.
Not content with posting football videos and pictures of himself with his female ‘friends’, he decided to up the ante.
His ball skills on the football pitch were second to none and he often left defenders in a tangle in the Premier League, but why he thought he’d train his horse to play the beautiful game is anyone’s guess.
You may be thinking that this isn’t exactly a newsworthy feat, and if that was all, you’d be correct. However,...

The day that Faustino Asprilla single-handedly destroyed Barcelona lives long in the memory of Newcastle United fans. The match turned the bendy-legged Columbian into a cult hero despite him only scoring two goals in 10 games throughout the rest of the 1997-98 season.
Asprilla who did score an impressive nine goals in eleven European matches was sold back to Parma at the end of the season for £6 million but his performance on Wednesday, September 17th, 1997, will never be forgotten. Barcelona – who were managed by Louis van Gaal and won the La Liga, Copa del Rey and Super Cup titles that season – couldn’t handle ‘Tino’s’ sublime skills and his 22-minute hat-trick was the perfect reward for an exceptional night at St James’ Park.
Asprilla scored after 26, 30 and 48 minutes. The first was a penalty he won himself, the others headers from excellent crosses by a rejuvenated Keith Gillespie.
