Trump? Brexit? It's #Piegate making headlines around the world

While other parts of the world fret about Donald Trump's government or Brexit, the Brits are talking about: pie.

If you haven't heard about Wayne Shaw yet, he is non-league Sutton United's reserve team goalkeeper.

During his side's fifth round match against Arsenal, he was photographed eating a pie in the dugout.

The main trouble is that a bookmaker had offered odds of 8-1 that Shaw would eat a pie on camera.

He's now being investigated by the Gambling Commission and FA and has resigned from Sutton United.

Pie-R disasters: When sport and stunts leave a bad taste

This is how #Piegate is being reported around the world

The New York Times called Shaw the "Roly Poly Goalie" and obviously had a bit of explaining to do for US readers.

"The strange tale involves a Cinderella team, a bookmaker eager for publicity and, most important, a portly, middle-aged goalkeeper with a taste for meat and potatoes," it reports.

This is the NYT story on Wayne Shaw.

The first line of the Los Angeles Times piece simply says: "Wayne Shaw was hungry, so he ate a meat pie."

Even the Washington Post ran a headline, "Everything you need to know about the English soccer gambling scandal involving pie".

This is BT Sport's Gif showing the pie-eating incident.

The Australian newspaper reported Wayne Shaw's comments that the pie was "bloody unreal" at the time but said "probably not so much now".

Over in New Zealand, Stuff said that despite "bland pies" and a "bland part" of south west London, this story is anything but bland.

"Put rotund (127kg) Sutton United reserve goalkeeper Wayne Shaw, a pie and a home FA Cup tie against premiership side Arsenal together, and you have a sparkling rainbow of technicolor footy fun, that sent you off to bed laughing, happy that even in this money driven world there's still fun to be had in sport."

That's a sentiment which Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker agrees with.

He says football is losing its heart and humour.

The Irish Times reported on the story as well while the Scottish Daily Record rounded up some of the most weird moments from the sideline in football.

They include Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths eating a Tunnock's teacake while on the substitutes bench for their league match with St Mirren in 2015.

Watch Leigh Griffiths eat his cake.
