Falcao has a parrot who cheers ‘Gol de Falca’ when he scores

Now we want a talking parrot to cheer us on.

Meet Coco the Columbian parrot. He reportedly belongs to Manchester United star Radamel Falcao and has been trained to cheer on his owner at every opportunity.

Falcao’s wife Lorelei said the parrot has been taught a number of different phrases: "My parrot Coco says ‘Goal from Falca’, ‘great goal’ and more.”

Some players try to impress us with flashy supercars and flashier jewellery, but a cheering parrot may just be the coolest accessory of them all.
