He's used to leading the line at Posh, but this festive season, Peterborough United striker Ricky Jade Jones has mounted an altogether different attack..on traditional festive traditions, and it's all in the name of woke!

The 22 year old has driven family members and team mates potty with his pc demands, which include the banning of the word "Christmas" at the club training ground incase it offends non Christians, an insistence that family members adopt a family of dolphins in his name rather than buy him presents and the starting of an online petition calling for a boycott of his local community panto due to the script's"cultural insensitivities".
Club staff and management initially respected the EFL Trophy winner's wishes, however they lost all patience during the recent Nene derby match with local League One rivals Northampton Town. Through on goal with only keeper Nik Tzanev to beat, Jones had a bigger target in his sights than the derby day spoils.
As the ball rolled across the Cobblers's penalty area, the famous former Express Lift Tower, a striking structure dominating the Northampton skyline, loomed into view.
"All I could think about was how any day now, that mockery of a Christmas tree, an arrangement of lights placed in a triangular shape at the top of the tower, will be switched on. Think of the carbon footprint!"
The Posh youth team graduate told reporter Adam Signet after the match.
"So I lent back, took a swing and let storm Darragh do the rest!"
The ball connected with it's festive target, leaving the Northampton skyline without it's traditional yultide glow, but it was an altogether different "Storm Darragh" Posh fans had to contend with post match!
Florida based Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony was said to be furious after reading a social media story about a unisex toilet in Minnesota.
