Is this an early contender for celebration of the weekend?
A lot of thought has gone into this...
Football FC lawn mower training celebration
Premier League footballers have been ridiculed in the past for practising their goal celebrations in training and pre-match warm-ups.
You wouldn't find that happening in the FA People's Cup, would you?!

We said it's the biggest five-a-side tournament in the country, but how big?
In the first round of the 2019 FA People's Cup at the end of February, in the midst of what you might call a heatwave for that time of year, over 4,500 teams played across 240 venues. But more on that shortly.
Teams have now been whittled down to 500 at 24 venues, as players look to book their place in the finals - which take place at St George's Park, training base for the England national teams, on the last weekend in April.
Good morning and welcome to the semi-finals of the FA People's Cup - the nation's biggest, and most inclusive, five-a-side tournament.
We will bring you all the action and atmosphere from up and down the country this weekend, as players take to the pitches in categories such as Walking Football, Disability, Adult and Female Veterans and many more.
