VIDEO: Big Shaq O’Neal posts good luck message to his favourite English football team

What the?

JOE

Ah, of course.

New Jersey-born NBA player. It could only be Northampton Town really.

Shaquille O’Neal has expressed his love for a League Two side with a very personal and very adoring message.

The American legend sent out a video to root for his beloved Northampton in the run-in of what could yet be a title-winning season for the Cobblers.

And the 7ft 1in former basketball star has expressed his desire to make it to Sixfields Stadium to cheer on John Joe O’Toole, Brendan Moloney and the boys.

Northampton stole our imaginations earlier in the season with their ingenious free kick routine. It seems that their craft made it all the way across the pond to a fanatic big Shaq who just can’t get enough of Northampton.

Wonder does he say “we”.
