A LIVERPOOL fan stole Everton’s thunder with the first ever goal at their new stadium as his celebrations went viral.
An incredible 10,000 Toffees’ fans turned up for the test event, with Everton Under-18s taking on their Wigan counterparts.

Harrison Rimmer quickly became an online hit over his goal celebrationAlamyAFPThe dazzling venue attracted 10,000 for its first ever game[/caption]
And no matter how high Harrison Rimmer climbs in the rest of his career, he might always be remembered for the way he arrived on ‘the big stage’ – of Bramley-Moore Dock stadium.
The Latics’ website describes their teenage hopeful as a “tough-tackling” midfielder.
And the Reds’ supporter certainly showed he knows how to give it out… to Everton fans.
Rimmer took just 11 minutes to notch his historic strike at the £760million venue.
The goal itself was pretty simple.
But he chose the moment to troll Toffees’ supporters.
The grinning starlet turned to the crowd and raised six fingers.
The raising of half a dozen digits is a cutting reference to the combined total of European Cups and Champions League crowns lifted by the Reds.

And it’s a time-honoured way for brave players who support Liverpool to mark a goal scored at the club’s two fiercest rivals, Everton and Manchester United.
Even as team-mates congratulated Rimmer for his goal, he seemed more interest in teasing the home faithful.
One Wigan player hugged him, another kissed him on the head.
But Rimmer’s focus was on his moment with the crowd.
And as he ran off after the embrace from fellow Latics, he turned back to deliver one final six-finger salute.
Many observers loved Rimmer’s sheer cheek.
One joked: “Nothing will ever happen at Bramley-Moore that will top that moment!”
Another posted: “Harrison Rimmer scoring the first goal at Everton’s new stadium giving it the ‘6 Times’ gesture! Couldn’t get more Everton.”
“What a man,” said a third fan, while a fourth wrote: “Gonna have a few people rattled.”
But another viewer teased that Rimmer’s antics were just “bitter jealousy” over the impressive new stadium.
And one fan ditched the banter in favour of some sound advice for trival lovers.
He posted: “Harrison Rimmer of Wigan U18s scores the first goal at the new Everton stadium. Remember it for your pub quizzes!”
Everton expect to move into 53,000-capacity Bramley-Dock next season, having been at Goodison Park since 1892.

5 days agoworld NewsComments Off on The best budget wines from around the world & their surprising food pairings – including the right rose for Jaffa cakes
WHETHER you enjoy a drop of Spanish red, French rose or Aussie white, affordable wine from all over the world has never been so widely available in UK supermarkets.
To celebrate Global Drink Wine Day here Alex James, Blur bassist, food and drink aficionado, founder of the annual Big Festival, cheesemaker and the curator of Britpop wines, raises a glass to common types of plonk from eight grape-growing countries.

And he suggests the best British dishes to tuck into when drinking them – including some you might not have tried before.
ITALY – Caparelli Italian Pinot Grigio, £5.50, Tesco
DRINK WITH: Cheesy crumpets
ITALIAN white is the perfect match for old-fashioned, budget-friendly mild Cheddar for cheese on toast – or crumpets.
Having said that pretty much any cheese is fair game. If you can grate it, you can grill it.
TescoTesco’s Caparelli Italian Pinot Grigio is the perfect match for cheese on toast or crumpets[/caption]
It’s almost impossible to eat badly in Italy and it’s the home of many grand, spectacular wines but this dish calls for a cheap and cheerful classic.
Pinot Grigio is great with pizza and it takes the perfect simplicity of cheesy crumpets straight up to the penthouse of indulgence.
Some pomegranate seeds give this pairing the perfect finishing touch of prettiness. Midweek heaven.
IcelandIceland’s Burfield Chardonnay is the perfect partner for a pork pie[/caption]
I brought a stash home with me and I discovered it’s a pork pie’s perfect partner.
The wines have green apple and a whole host of fruity flavours that really connect with pork – and would be great with a hot sausage roll, too.
Chardonnay grapes also do well in England.
You will probably have to pay a bit more for a home-grown bottle but they are well worth trying with a pie if you get the chance.
GERMANY – Extra Special Gewurztraminer, £8.50, Asda
DRINK WITH: Chicken Tikka Masala
WHEN it comes to curry, most of us would probably reach for an ice-cold beer.
But there is a wine for every occasion and Gewurztraminer which hails originally from the culinary gold mine of Alsace along the French-German border is a fine choice to sip alongside spicy food.
AsdaAsda’s Extra Special Gewurztraminer is best served ice cold and sipped gently[/caption]
It’s quite viscous and sometimes reminiscent of tea with honey but it’s a white, big and bold enough to sit comfortably with any curry, exotic naan or aromatic rice you care to throw at it.
I like Gewurztraminer ice cold and sipped gently so I’ll stand my wine glasses in the freezer for half an hour before pouring.
WHITE wine with a nice, light acidic bite is the obvious choice for fare like fried fish but it’s by no means the only one.
If you like red wine and you like fish and chips, chances are you’re going to like them both at the same time.
Lidl’s 5 Oros Rioja Crianza is wonderful with fish and chipsLidl
Especially in the winter.
Batter is quite meaty so it can easily take the weight and depth of a full-bodied red and the might of malt vinegar needs something robust to meet it.
This Rioja pairing works really well and would be outstanding enjoyed at the British seaside at this time of year.
Or lying down in front of the telly.
ENGLAND – Britpop Brut by Alex James, £25, laithwaites.co.uk.
DRINK WITH: Full English breakfast
YES, this one is mine but there are lots of other great bottles of English fizz also worth paying a bit extra for.
The brightness and sharpness of our native sparkling wine makes it the perfect accompaniment to this culinary juggernaut – a full English.
laithwaites.co.ukBritpop Brut by Alex James is a great accompaniment to a Full English[/caption]
It cuts through rich meaty oils, refreshing the palate and adding a dash of glamour.
If you like orange juice with your fry-up, try mixing it with Brit fizz for the full breakfast of champions.
These are golden days of English wine making and our home-grown bubbly is now right up there with the very best in the world.
CHILE – Specially Selected Chilean Pinot Noir, £6.49, Aldi
DRINK WITH: Toad in the hole
I WAS going to say how cheap and easy it is to make Yorkshire puddings for toad in the hole then I spotted some ready-made ones in the supermarket.
But the gravy is the key ingredient in this dish.
AldiAldi’s Specially Selected Chilean Pinot Noir is perfect with toad in the hole[/caption]
Even with a packet or ready-made sauce, I still add a good splosh of vino to give it spicy depths.
If you’ve got time, the advantage of making your own batter is you can make them as gigantic as you want.
I rather like tearing off bits of Yorkshires and dunking them in my Pinot.
But I have to do it when my mum’s not looking.
FRANCE – Chais du Moulin Rosé, £6.99, laithwaites.co.uk.
DRINK WITH: Jaffa Cakes
WHILE I’m not suggesting anyone make a habit of this at teatime, biscuits like Jammie Dodgers or Jaffa Cakes coupled with a bottle creates a surprisingly sensational combination of interconnecting fruitiness and creaminess in the mouth.
Rose would be lovelier still with scones, jam and clotted cream but biscuits have fewer calories so this is actually a relatively sensible choice.
.laithwaites.co.ukChais du Moulin Rosé works well with biscuits like Jammie Dodgers or Jaffa Cakes[/caption]
There are so many affordable wines to explore in every supermarket.
They will tell you what they taste like and what they go well with on the back label so don’t be afraid to sip around.
ARGENTINA – Buenas Vides Argentinian Malbec, £4.59, Aldi
DRINK WITH: Sunday roast
NOTHING could have prepared me for how much the Argentinians love the UK.
They are mad about British music, football and totally mad about beef.
AldiAldi’s Buenas Vides Argentinian Malbec pairs perfectly with a sunday roast[/caption]
Aberdeen Angus beef is very highly regarded across South America.
It tastes spectacular and is traditionally cooked to perfection on adjustable barbecues called parillas.
I sometimes dream of running away to Argentina and never coming back.
A glass of fat Argentinian Malbec red wine with a traditional meaty roast is the next best thing.
5 days agoworld NewsComments Off on Doctor Who facing axe as lead star Ncuti Gatwa ‘quits’ amid woeful rating and fans’ fury at woke storylines
DOCTOR Who is facing the axe, with lead star Ncuti Gatwa poised to quit and crew claiming to be laid off.
The recent series suffered abysmal ratings with fans outraged by the BBC shoehorning wokery into storylines.

Bosses have postponed any decision until Ncuti’s second season has aired later this year.
But the Scot, 32, is already believed to have filmed his regeneration “exit scene”, and crew fear the BBC will shelve the show after 62 years.
An insider said: “Ncuti doesn’t want to be tied to the series beyond this and plans to relocate to Los Angeles with several Hollywood projects standing by for him.
“His team also see a lot of fan backlash from the series, and don’t want the perception of him still being The Doctor to get in the way of any future work.
“The show has been poorly managed in recent years, and there’s a lot of people who’ve been working on this show for years and now being cast aside due to poor leadership.
“People warned some episodes were getting too caught up on an agenda rather than telling a story, and those people got shouted down, ignored.”
The first series under Ncuti which began last May attracted viewing figures between 2.25m and 3.18m – a fraction of what it used to pull in.
Controversy over the storylines has ramped up since 2023, when Russell T Davies returned as showrunner.
A trio of 60th anniversary specials kicked off with a plot involving a character who was able to save London because they were trans.
Another saw The Doctor — played by the returning David Tennant — realise he was gay after developing a crush on Sir Isaac Newton.
However viewing figures were still around two million up on the episodes to come under Ncuti, accompanied by new companion Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson.
The first full series had plots slamming everything from capitalism to Christianity — and introduced a new enemy played by a drag queen.
A huge question mark also hangs over whether Disney will renew their deal with the BBC, which is said to be worth £100m.
Crew working on the show in Cardiff are said to be furious at being left in limbo after filming wrapped last week.
The insider said: “Word on set is that the BBC will shelve the series for at least five years. The crew were told not to hold their breath for work on the series for at least 10 years.
“As we scramble to find work, those responsible get to ride off onto other well-paid projects without any repercussions. Filming wrapped on Friday afternoon, with no fanfare or celebration.”
Ncuti’s exit as the Time Lord would be the earliest since Christopher Eccleston, who left after just one series in 2005.
Ncuti was brought in by Russell T Davies, who rebooted the franchise in 2005 before leaving in 2009, only to return two years ago.
