You have to say this much for Giovanni Trapattoni: life is rarely dull with the old man around.

Trap dancing to his own tune

And I use the term ‘old man’ loosely since, to judge by his antics at a press conference in Dublin this week, there can be no question about the 73-year-old’s fitness, whatever about Shane Long’s.

A pre-season scoreless draw played out in front of a two-thirds empty stadium in Belgrade is hardly a story you would think would hold your attention, never mind the back page, but Trap even managed to make it to the front of this one on the back the fall-out from Wednesday’s match, thanks to Inpho photographer Donall Farmer’s memorable shot of the manager apparently in mid-audition for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
