FANCY WATCHING a game of football on the side of an active volcano?
Or maybe you would prefer the 90-minute experience of sitting high up a mountain pass, perched on a slender goat trail?

Leon GladwellMountains rise about the Reine Stadion in Norway[/caption]
The thing about new grounds these days is that while they cost billions of pounds to build, more often than not they all look the same and lack uniqueness or character.
There is something thrilling and wonderful about watching a match played in bizarre or strange surroundings – locations far removed from the pristine, copycat comfort of the Premier League.
Author Leon Gladwell went on a two-year voyage to discover and photograph 100 of Europe’s wackiest and strangest venues, travelling more than 130,000 miles across 71 trips.
He has collected them all into a glossy new book European Football’s Greatest Grounds.
And SunSport has put together 10 of the most remarkable, bucket-list places on the continent where you can go and watch the Beautiful Game.
Campo di Calcio Zuel (Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy)
The Trampolino Olimpico, a ski jumping hill in the Dolomites, was opened in 1923 and was used as a venue during the 1956 Winter Olympics.
The faded Olympic Rings are still visible from the bottom of the 49-metre high launch ramp.
Yet there is no chance of Eddie ‘The Eagle’ flying over the goalposts because the jump has been closed for 35 years.

During the summer months, when the snow has melted, the area below is used for junior football, thanks to the installation of a football pitch by Serie A giants AC Milan.
It also has a key place in movie history – it was the scene of a famous ski jump by James Bond in the 1981 film For Your Eyes Only.

Campo Gerini (Rome, Italy)
Italian stadiums might look old and rundown but that is part of their charm and romanticism.
Anyone who grew up watching the Italia ‘90 World Cup on TV will instantly recognise some of the famous yet tired arenas that hosted the world’s best footballers 35 years ago.
One of the nation’s quirkiest grounds can be located in its capital Rome, eleven kilometres south-east of the Colosseum, in the second-largest urban park in Europe.
Campo Gerini hosts various football factions seven days a week, from junior sides right through to senior matches in Italy’s ninth tier.
Some of the pitches are located next to a decaying aqueduct built in 50 BC during the reign of Emperor Claudius.
Yet the future of the area is in doubt after 40 hectares of land (the equivalent of 60 football pitches) were sold to private individuals, including a supermarket entrepreneur, in 2023.

Eriskay (Scotland)
Eriskay is a remote island in the Outer Hebrides and is barely four kilometres in length.
With a population of just 143, it is one of the smallest regions to support a football club.
And Barnet’s old uphill slope is nothing compared to this imperfect playing surface.
The bumpy, bobbly Cnoc Na Monadh pitch, with his wobbly touchlines, has a “wee hill in the corner” and as such, one of the corner flags is as high as the crossbar.
Occasionally, stray sheep might make a beeline for the centre circle and after every winter, groundstaff have to painstakingly remove all the local wildlife’s POO.
Fifa’s World Football Museum gave Eriskay worldwide recognition in 2015, branding it as one of the eight most remarkable places in the world to play football.
Post-match drinks can be enjoyed in the island’s only pub, Am Politician, which is named after the celebrated shipwreck.

Feldstrasse (Hamburg, Germany)
Hamburg’s historic SC Hansa 11 club has a unique claim to fame – it is next door to a gargantuan Nazi-built Second World War BUNKER.
Two artificial pitches in this inner-city sports ground are flanked by the astonishing Flakturm IV.
This air raid shelter was built in the 1940s under orders from Adolf Hitler to protect the country from Allied air attack.
An anti-aircraft gun has long gone from the imposing concrete blockhouse tower and it has since been converted into a public rooftop terrace, which doubles up as a live music venue.
On the other side of the ground is the Millerntor-Stadion, which is home to Bundesliga side, FC St. Pauli, a must-see destination for all football hipsters.

Grigoris Lambrakis Municipal Stadium (Athens, Greece)
The best stadiums are not really the ones located off a motorway, far out of town, next to a shopping centre, with ample parking spots.
The most interesting ones exist within a deprived community, perhaps next to a housing estate, in a hustling, bustling city, which has been dwarfed by the skyward creep of urbanisation.
Athens Kallithea FC’s ground, known locally as El Paso, is one such neighbourhood spot and some lucky fans can watch action in Greece’s top division from their apartment block windows.
Otherwise punters can perch on limestone cliffs that roll around half the pitch, standing behind coils of barbed wire and iron railings.
In the mid-1960s, Sergio Leone’s spaghetti-western classic For a Few Dollars More, starring Clint Eastwood, was released in Greece under the name Duel in El Paso.
Kallithea used that nickname and to this day, they run on to the pitch to the dustbowl strains of Ennio Morricone’s haunting score.

Gryluvollur (Hveragerdi, Iceland)
There is no danger of flooding or soggy pitches for Iceland lower-league side FC Hamar.
That is because underneath their hillside ground are boiling underground rivers hot enough to cook an EGG.
Situated on the slopes of the Grændalur volcano, fumarole vents near the touchline and in neighbouring backyards belch plumes of sulphuric steam into the air.
A Gryla geyser lies dormant just 70 metres from the pitch and until the late 1990s, it would often shoot boiling jets of water up to 12 metres high during matches.
At least for those who live in this alien landscape in the little village of Hverageroi (which translates as ‘hot spring garden’), players can use the gases to steam-dry their match-day kits.

Janosovka (Cierny Balog, Slovakia)
Ideally, a football ground needs to have good, reliable transport links – but there is one in Slovakia which takes that concept to its extreme.
One slumberous village in Cierny Balog actually has aSTEAM TRAIN that passes directly by, just metres from the pitch and only a few feet from one of the grandstands.
A busy logging railway used to haul timber up and down the valley for more than 80 miles of narrow gauge track for almost 75 years.
These days, it is a heritage railway for tourists but the line goes straight through the ground of this semi-professional club.
There are no confirmed accidents involving trains at the ground but the chairman often jokes that a few of his wingers should hop on and off to get them up the line a bit quicker.
Yet anyone planning a Rory Delap-style long run-up for their throw-ins might think again…

Kvarlis Tsentraluri Stadioni (Kvareli, Georgia)
Kvareli Duruji FC in Georgia’s fifth division play football inside the walls of a medieval CASTLE.
The rural 17th-century fortress, which has an iron-studded entrance gate, has wooden grandstands and can house up to 2,500 fans.
Legend has it that a player once went down headfirst into a sinkhole that emerged during one match in 1978.
That has since been filled in and bricked over but underneath the pitch are tunnels and rooms that were built to store earthenware vessels used for the fermentation and ageing of local wine.
When Gladwell went there, a special friendly match was arranged in his honour and his son Noah was allowed to play – even though he ended up missing a key penalty.

Valloyran (Sandavagur, Faroe Islands)
Those who live in the Faroe Islands can get to church on time on a Sunday – and then, after their prayers, have a little kickabout next door.
One of the country’s 26 grounds – in the seaside fishing village of Sandavagur – is overlooked by a beautiful red-roofed wooden church and cemetery.
There are so few seats that it is essentially standing room only around this tiny football field – but you could choose to watch from your car given how close you can park behind one of the goals.
The artificial pitch ensures few games are called off but spectators have to wrap up warm in the face of the fierce Faroese weather.
Leon GladwellThe picturesque ground is overlooked by a red-roofed church[/caption]
Yenisehir Stadyumu (Gumushane, Turkey)
The city of Gumushane, which is 3,970ft above sea level, lies on the ancient Silk Road, the historic trade route from China to Turkey.
To reach their football club, you have to endure a hair-raising zig-zagging journey along the Zigana Pass in the Pontic Mountains.
Fans can either watch from the grandstands or, to avoid buying a ticket, find a spot up on the uphill goat paths.
Pity the poor groundsman who has to work with a pitch that sees little sunlight due to the towering walls of red rock that encircle the ground.
It is one of the most remote places to visit in Europe, several hours outside of Black Sea resort Trabzon, but also one of the most special.

A FISHERMAN who was savagely attacked and dragged into a river by a killer crocodile has been found dead.
Jacob Tuan, 32, was snatched from a riverbank in Malaysia as he was fishing for catfish with his family late at night.
Dayak DailyFisherman Jacob Tuan’s body has been found after he was dragged into a river by a crocodile[/caption]
Padawan Fire and Rescue departmentRescue teams launched a desperate overnight search for Tuan[/caption]
GettyThe killer was most likely a saltwater crocodile which are common along mangroves and rivers in Malaysia[/caption]
His body was recovered by police just hours after his horrified family reported the terrifying ordeal.
The victim’s family said the crocodile leapt out of the water after catching Tuan’s fishing wire before dragging him under the river by his waist.
Father-in-law Idi Rengkang, 50, said it all happened so quickly that they had no time to react and save Tuan.
Rengkang recalled: “Jacob was pulling in the line when it suddenly snapped.
“Then a crocodile struck and grabbed him at the waist. He shouted, ‘Abak! (Dad)’ and then there was silence.”
The heartbroken parent said he was also struck by the reptile’s dangerous tail.
Tuan’s body was found on Friday afternoon covered in serious bite wounds after a search-and-rescue (SAR) operation was launched.
Police said he was pulled from the riverbank less than 1,000ft away from where he was taken by the beast.
Padawan District Police Chief, Superintendent Irwan Hafiz Mohd Radzi, paid his respects to the fisherman.
He added: “The body has been sent to the Sarawak General Hospital (HUS) for a post-mortem and the case is currently classified as sudden death.”
The killer was most likely a saltwater crocodile which are common along mangroves and rivers in Malaysia.
It follows a spate of horror crocodile attacks in recent months.
An idiotic tourist was savaged by a 15ft croc after climbing into the reptile’s cage to get a picture with the beast.
The 29-year-old man attempted the stunt in front of horrified onlookers in the Philippines after mistaking the cold-blooded beast for a statue.
Gruesome footage showed the tourist wailing in agony as the predator locks her jaws around his limb and refuses to let go.
The tourist miraculously survived the attack but did require over 50 stitches.
Another tragic mauling left a seven-year-old boy fighting for his life after his arm was ripped off in a horrific crocodile encounter.
Johandre Blom was attacked while playing in the water just a few feet away from his parents, at the Roodekoppies Dam in Brits, South Africa.
Johandre was thrown around by the crocodile in its powerful jaws before his father rushed into the water.
He managed to pull the boy free while the brutal predator was still circling them in the water.
Johandre survived but lost his left arm in the bloody attack.

The hype has been building as both Serrano and Taylor have been busy doing media in recent days.
One such instance saw the Puerto Rican appear on an episode of The Whistle, during which she was asked to give her opinion on a variety of different boxers.
One of which was Katie Taylor herself, with Serrano initially responding: “Oh! Rarrr!” before laughing.
She then demonstrated the respect she has for the undisputed super lightweight champion.
Serrano added: “I tell people that she’s my bestie because together we make millions of dollars.
“We make magic together. We make great fights together.”
While they shared mutual respect towards one another, both Taylor and Serrano remain in intense disagreement over the outcome of their last fight.
Throughout the broadcast — viewed by 75 million fight fans worldwide — Ranallo and Perez had controversially suggested it was a one-sided contest in favour of Serrano.
Taylor, however, has long since shrugged off the pundits’ objections.
She added: “I recently looked back at that fight and if you turn the commentary off, it’s actually a very, very clear win for me.
“There was no controversy whatsoever. The commentary made it controversial but I was very happy with that performance.
“But there’s still more I can do as well, which is very positive for me. It was a great performance but I feel like I still haven’t shown my best. That’s very, very exciting for me.”

GLASTONBURY is in full swing and with it comes a whole heap of surprises.
In fact there have been so many twists and turns, revellers were left with their jaws dropped when a Doctor Who legend joined Franz Ferdinand on stage for a wild cameo.

Yesterday, the noughties indie band took to the Other Stage for a set which included all of their greatest hits.
As revellers sang along to their top tunes in the sweltering heat, they then got a welcome surprise.
Poking fun at all the talk about “surprise sets” at Glastonbury, lead singer Alex Kaparanos said: “One of the things I love about Glastonbury is the rumours. You know, all the gossip that goes around.”
Continuing he then revealed the band had their own surprise for the fans up their sleeve.
“You may have heard a rumour that a fellow Glaswegian who goes by the name of Capaldi,” Alex told the crowd.
“Well, Glastonbury, it gives me great joy to say that these rumours are true. He is here with us tonight. The original Capaldi – Peter Capaldi!”
Fans went wild to say the least as Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi walked on stage.
Revellers then couldn’t believe what they were seeing when the Time Lord joined in with the band to sing their famous hit, Take Me Out.
NOT THE ONLY CAPALDI AT GLASTO
As Franz Ferdinand pointed out, Peter wasn’t the only one of the Capaldi family at the Worthy Farm yesterday.
The actor’s nephew Lewis, 28, joined in on the action for a surprise set on the Pyramid Stage – at the same time as he was on stage with Franz Ferdinand.
Strutting on stage for his surprise set, he told Glastonbury revellers: “I’m back baby” as he made a triumphant comeback to the famous festival.
The Scots singer made his long-anticipated return to the festival two years after he broke down on the very same stage.
But he made an emotional return as he swaggered onto the stage yesterday as a crowd of more than 100,000 people chanted his name.
The singer told fans the past two years had been “difficult” but admitted he had unfinished business to resolve.

Daily RecordThe famous relatives get on well[/caption]
He said: “Glastonbury, it’s so good to be back. I’m not gonna say much up here today because if I do, I think I’ll probably start crying.
“But I said it’s just amazing to be here with you all, and I can’t thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me.”
Making light of his 2023 performance, which he was forced to cut short, he said: “Second time’s a charm on this one, everybody.
“It’s just a short set today, but I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn’t finish the first time.”
Festival-goers when then treated them to the surprise 35-minute set with hits like Before You Go and Hold Me While You Wait.
Introducing his new song, Survive, which dropped this week, Lewis said: “I released a new song. The last two years haven’t been the best for me. It’s been quite difficult at times.
“I wanted to write a song about overcoming that stuff and getting to the other side of it.
“This has been my f*****g goal to get here. This song’s about that.”

A NEPO-BABY with a huge Hollywood star father was branded body “goals” as she stripped to a black swimsuit.
The sports star, 36, opted for a figure hugging black one-piece as she hit the sands at Florida’s Palm Beach.

GettyHannah Selleck, 37, has carved out a completely different career to her famous dad[/caption]
AlamyShe is the only child of actor Tom Selleck and his wife Jillie Mack[/caption]
Hannah Selleck is the daughter of Three Men and a Baby and Quigley Down Under actor Tom Selleck, 80 – and is often spotted hanging out with her famous pop.
She is the screen star’s sole child with his wife Jillie Mack, 67, and – despite her dad’s famous career – swerved film fame to become an equestrian competitor.
In her down time away from her horses, Hannah captured herself chilling out on the beach.
She uploaded a snap to her Instagram page, taken by Boone Studios, which saw her emerging from the waves and sweeping her wet locks over her shoulders.
She had pulled on a pair of sunglasses and looked completely relaxed as she strode on the sands.
In a thought-provoking caption she wrote: “Some waves aren’t meant to be caught.”
This prompted one fan to post: “You are GOALS!!!!!”
A second put: “Super cute babe. I’m here for this.”
A third then gushed: “Stunning! Miss you!”
Her wider Instagram account captures the international show jumper’s achievements in the sporting world, as well as a series of selfies and shots with her pals.
Her love for horses came after actor Tom and Jillie raised her on a California ranch, named Rancho de Descanso, and her mum gushed to People in 2012: “We both thought it was the best environment for her to grow up.”
In 2010, this proved to be correct and spurred her to launch her own training and breeding operation on-site.
Eight years later, she suffered a serious riding injury during which she shattered her fibula and tibia – yet had worked hard to get her passion back on track.
Her battles came after she was then diagnosed with a rare nerve disease which sparked PTSD, and Hannah had previously told how meditation and yoga have helped in her recovery.

PROUD PAPA
Meanwhile, her connection with her father has remained strong.
He previously spoke out about being a parent to Parade and said: “You never stop being a dad even though your kids are grown.
“There aren’t a lot of good, strong, examples of patriarchs trying to do the right thing on television.
“So, I think that performs a certain function; fathers are important.”
He then added to People: “I’ve always treasured the balance between work and time with my family. It’s always about them.”
The iconic actor switched up his look months afterCBSannounced thatBlue Bloodswas canceled – and Tom had been clear about his unhappiness with the decision.
He was spotted eating a McDonald’s burger before strolling across a parking lot.
Typically, Tom is clean-shaven with a large mustache and carefully styled hair.
Before the network announced that the police drama, which was beloved by fans, had been canceled, the Magnum PI star discussed its renewal chances with CBS Sunday Morning.
“Well, that’s a good question,” he said at the time.
“I will continue to think that CBS will come to their senses.
“We’re the third-highest show in all of broadcast.”
Tom continued, “We’re winning the night. All the cast wants to come back.
“I can tell you this: We aren’t sliding off a cliff; we’re doing good shows.”
“And still holding out place. So I dunno. You tell me,” the actor went on.
