A Croat footballer turned up for work to find a flock of sheep waiting for him.
Defender Ivica Supe scored 16 times this season for third division Zagora FC unaware that the club's sponsor, Josko Bralic, a local shepherd, had promised a sheep for every goal scored by a defender.
Supe, 29, said: "It was a surprise, I just don't know where I will keep them. And I am expecting to score more by the end of the season."
A club spokesman said: "We are only a small club, and we could not get anyone else to sponsor us.
"There is no industry in the area, it's only a small village, and we were delighted when Mr Bralic offered to support us with sheep."

Well, at least he doesn't have to marry them ... (if you don't get the reference to the recent news item, let me know and I'll be less vague)
