Sheffield United striker Sharp gets in Royal Rumble mood with 'Mr Socko' celebration

Royal Rumble fever is gripping wrestling fans across the world and Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp got in the mood with a 'Mr Socko' celebration ahead of the pay-per-view event.

The Blades captain was instrumental in his side's 2-2 Championship draw away to Norwich City on Saturday, scoring two equalisers to ensure United left Carrow Road with a point.

Things took an unexpected turn after Sharp equalised from the penalty spot just before half time, when he produced a sock and placed it over his hand in the style of iconic wrestler Mick Foley.

He proceeded to celebrate with the prop, known as 'Mr Socko', and jokingly performed Foley's infamous finishing move, 'the Mandible Claw', on his team-mates.
