Shooting Leeds United's 2016 calendar appears to have kept the players busy...
So this is what Leeds United have been up to over the recent international break...
The club yesterday released a video promoting their upcoming 2016 calendar, which whatever you think of it, has to be seen to be believed.
A great deal of time appears to have been focused on it, photographing players in unusual scenarios, giving it a little something 'extra', than the bog-standard calendars produced by clubs with match day images usually used.
But this is Leeds United, a club which is anything but dull - and the video gets more and more bizarre as it goes on.
Goalkeeper Marco Silvestri is photographed lying in a hammock on the pitch in his underwear, while Lee Erwin and Casper Sloth can be seen fishing in a canal.
Head coach Steve Evans perhaps somewhat mercifully does not appear in the video, perhaps in the spirit of the shelf life of Leeds bosses, the club did not want to infer for certain he will still be there in 2016.
The club's long-suffering fans barely knew what to make of it all, here is a look at the reaction on social media...
Great effort by #lufc to take focus off all the bad things going on in the world with the calender shoot video.

Just when you think #lufc couldn't go to to further lengths to make us a laughing stock.

I'm almost certain the 11-year-old me wouldn't have wanted a picture of Lee Chapman in his underwear in my yearly #LUFC calendar.
