Caption competition winner No. 21

Al-Fayed enlists some help over Christmas

It is not surprising that Fulham gave Liverpool such a hard time in the Worthington Cup when you see who Mohamed Al-Fayed has got in to help.

Well, it may be Christmas, but BBC Sport Online's little elves have been busy reading your rib-tickling e-mails.

This week we asked you to come up with some witty words to sum up Mr Al-Fayed's charming photo shoot.

Again you provided the high calibre of humour we, at the site, have grown to expect.

A lot of fun seem to be poked at the Harrods owner's passport problems, but in the end we gave it to Graeme Parker in the UK who sent in this gem;

"Rumours suggesting a rift between Mohamed Al Fayed and Ken Bates are unfounded."

Congratulations Graeme, your BBC Sport Online goodie bag is winging their way to you as we speak.

Well done to everyone else who took part, and don't forget there will be more caption competition action soon.
