I liked the headline on the Swans website a few years ago when we drafted a raw young defender:
"Cheer cheer Aliir Aliir".
Gold.

I can't recall the British newspaper responsible for this headline, and I can't recall the soccer player involved (I think he was Spanish), and of course I can't remember the name of the soccer fan who started the whole fracas. However, for some reason the headline sticks in my mind.
The fan was being obnoxious and the player finally had enough, so he went over to the fan and clocked him. The paper headlined it as: When the sh_it hit the fan!
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
That's the man! I can see where I got Spanish from, forgot he was French. And it was "hits", not "hit".
Not exactly recent but it sort of stays in your mind ...

Also another non footy headline....
Few years ago I saw a headline "Extra Cover for Ponting". It was about Ricky Ponting having a hair transplant.
Big news, Mr Flop aka Alex Rance has retired as of today
Different code, and I don't know if it's apocryphal, but it doesn't get better than "Crouching Tiger Hidden Finger".
My opinion is objective truth in its purest form
Not sporting but classic. In the NT news when Murdoch married Jerry Hall. Above their picture
“Jerry and the Pacemaker”
