TO mark the start of the new football season the Lutley Oak is searching for Halesowen’s most over-the-top goal celebrations.

The Greene King pub is looking for locals whose celebrations watching on TV rival those of the footballers on the pitch.

With £1,000 up for grabs for the best celebrations the Lutley Oak has joined forces with Jimmy Bullard, whose 2009 goal celebration mocking Hull City manager Phil Brown is consistently ranked amongst the top ten of all time.

Offering his tips on the perfect pub goal celebration, Jimmy said: “It’s hard to beat the excitement you feel when your team scores.

"Apart from the stadium, there’s no better place to watch a game than down the pub, so we want to find the best Halesowen football fan celebrations.

“Whether you pull your shirt over your head like Ravenelli, do the Peter Crouch robot, or your own unique move, we want to see it.”

The competition is being launched through the Lutley Oak’s ‘Season Ticket’ discount card, which offers guests 10 per cent off selected drinks during live football.

Bryan Wilson, general manager at the Lutley Oak, said: “We know that nothing beats getting together with your mates to watch a match in the pub. The football season is well under way and we really want our guests to show their support for the beautiful game.

“We’ve seen some fantastic celebrations over the years from our guests, so know that Halesowen’s got talent.”

To enter the competition, football fans just need to upload their pub goal celebrations to the Season Ticket Facebook page.
