But then what really made me laugh, watching Alfonso Davis score for Bayern Munich in the Champions League last night, is his celebration with three of his teammates was a very formal handshake, but it was almost tongue-in-cheek, you know, sort of like nineteen fifties England cricketers shaking hands after a wicket.
