Leeds fan celebrates relegation survival by jumping in Thames and shattering his foot

A Leeds FC footie fan decided to stip to his undies and jump in the River Thames to celebrate his team's relegation survival - but ended up shattering his foot when it turned out it was only 3ft deep.

Johnnie Matthews, 36, shattered the heel of his right foot diving in the London river after making the 'stupid pact' while drinking with his mates before the game, despite not being able to swim.

But he immediately regretted his decision and a video recorded by a pal captures him screaming out in pain.
