It’s the YouTube top 10 so that means Friday is only a few hours away. One last push, now.
10. A TV crew in New Zealand was forced to defend its actions after a helicopter carrying a Volvo Ocean Race TV crew flew too close to the Sky Tower in downtown Auckland.

9. We used to love it when, on Match Of The Day, the ball would strike the camera and knock it over. The 1986 FA Cup final and Ian Rush springs to mind.
Well, it’s even better when it’s golf. Dustin Johnson’s shot is coming straight for you.

8. The next Jordi Cruyff? Watch Rafael van der Vaart’s son at the Spurs training ground. He’s like Luka Modric, only a bit dinkier…

4. Let’s Dance – a young fan of a Vancouver ice hockey team proves to be quite the distraction in the Canucks’ 5-2 defeat to the Dallas Stars. He’s like David Brent without the sense of awkwardness and pity.

3. You know how it is.
After a game you can be so eager to shake the hand of the opposition coach you respect so much that you inadvertently end up slapping him up-side the head. Al Wasl keeper Majed Nasser has received a 17-match ban for doing just that to Al Ahli coach, Quique Sanchez Flores, after the Emirates Cup semi-final.

2. A bit of an oldie here but always worth reliving, especially given what’s happening next June. Packie Bonner and Kevin Sheedy relived their Euro ’88 experiences this week, and this video is one we hadn’t seen for a while. It almost makes us forgive Ronnie his constant carping in his new life as a pundit.
