Queen Sofia's Spanish dressing room visit
Written by Dave Allan Thursday, 08 July 2010 21:11
Everyone knows the King of Spain (Ashley Giles) but how many know the Queen of Spain - Sofia? The clip below shows the Queen of Spain making an impromtu visit to the Spainish dressing room after their World Cup semi-final success against Germany. Love the way the players scramble around tidying the place up when her back is turned as well as how much respect they showed her.
A semi-naked Carlos Puyol wanders into camera and gets to shake the Queen's hand before getting a bit of a ribbing off his fellow players. Can't see our Queen doing the same and can't see her getting the same respect off the players.

... The Spanish royals are incredibly supportive in sports. Just look at the spontaneity that they showed jumping and waving their arms when Spain scored.They inspire respect and love because of their behaviour. You see they really care. Last year in Wimbledon, when Nadal won, the first thing he did was to jump right to the balcony to salute and thank the Prince and Princess for their presence. |

... Ashley Giles was an England cricketer. He was a spin bowler. He had the nickname 'King of Spin'. A mistake at the printers meant the first batch of mugs, pens and other merchandising came back as "Ashley Giles - King of Spain" and the name stuck. |
