This is the moment an Australian man jumped into the River Kelvin to get his football back, prompting cheers from crowds.
Dan Hespe had been enjoying some sunshine at a beer garden in the West End with the rest of the Glasgow Sharks Australian Rules Football Club when he lost his ball over a fence.
Determined to get it back, Dan jumped into the river at Kelvinbridge and swam to retrieve the football.
When asked about the swim, he told STV News: “We’ve been participating in our Silly Sunday for the day, which is a tradition in Australia, where, as the name [suggests], you get silly.
“And unfortunately, my football ended up in the Kelvin, and I thought that it didn’t look too deep, maybe up to the knees. Turned out – up to your chin.
“Anyway, I got the ball, everyone’s cheering, these things happen.”
Dan and the rest of his friends then returned to enjoying their evening at the pub.
