LONDON — In Britain, football matches aren’t exactly known for their half-time entertainment. Normally everyone retreats inside for 15 minutes, grabs a drink and maybe a pie of some description, then heads back up to the stands again.
But Derby Counts F.C. just set a new bar.
During their Championship match against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, Derby found an unusual — but undoubtedly glorious — way to entertain the crowd.

It’s not every day you get to watch a monstrous inflatable fish regurgitating a semi-naked man.
Then again, if you’re from the U.S. that fish might look familiar.
That’s because he’s actually a character from sports entertainment company ZOOperstars originally known as “Mackerel Jordan” — and he’s been entertaining U.S. audiences with his “Eat It” routine for awhile now.
Unsurprisingly the fish was a big hit in the UK, too.
@ZOOperstars This is the funniest and most entertaining thing we’ve seen at the iPro in a very long time!! #DCFC pic.twitter.com/FiSrYVHDVe

Giant inflatable animals attacking humans are clearly the gift that keeps on giving.
