This video shows the moment a football supporter had a real-life Little Britain moment - when he rose from his wheelchair to start celebrating. Sports reporter Jak Ball filmed the fan wheeling his chair up and down the side of the pitch before he stunned the crowd by jumping out of it in delight and waving his arms aloft.

A modern part of the city, less charming than Campo Marzio or Vatican City; Termini doesn’t sleep. Amid the nasal howl of sirens, burbling Vespas and suitcase wheels, Termini is littered with uncountable bars-cum-cafés-cum-coffee shops.
