Belgian fan's on-pitch marriage proposal rejected

It might have been part of a TV stunt, but still it makes classic comedy.


"A would-be groom was humiliated on Belgian TV - when his girlfriend snubbed an on-field marriage proposal before Cercle Brugge's Boxing Day match against Standard Liege.

The hopeful lad, called Frank, sank to his knees in front of the cameras and, after throwing away a prepared speech, asked pretty Natalie to be his wife.

But she shook her head and ran off the pitch and out of an exit in tears, leaving him to be led away by the stunned stadium announcer."
