Caption competition 210

Paul Gascoigne and Sir Alex Ferguson

England football legend Paul Gascoigne gets intimate with Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson in Faro, Portugal.

Gazza played for Fergie's international all-star side against Luis Figo's star-studded Portuguese outfit in a charity match.

And the cheeky Geordie looked in fine fettle while risking the Fergie 'hairdryer' treatment.

Is Gazza trying to earn himself one last crack at the big time? What do you think he's up to behind Sir Alex's back?

This weeks winner....... cue emphatic drumroll.......comes from Darren Farr in England with this witty litttle gem.

Oh come on boss - I'm Boston to get on

Congratulations to you - send us your address and we will send you a BBC Sport goody bag.

A new cap comp will be published on Monday.
