Dereck Kutesa leads the Super League scoring charts with eleven goals. Accordingly, fans have often seen the Servette striker waving his arm after his goals. But what does this special celebration actually mean? Is it a rapier thrust? A lash of the whip? Or is it a magic wand being waved?

At blue Sport, Kutesa provides the explanation: "My girlfriend and I were watching Harry Potter on TV. Then Harry did 'Abracadabra' and I told my girlfriend that I would do the same for my next goal."

The 27-year-old kept his word. "I did it for her," he grins. "Then I thought: oh, that's special. So I kept it and now I show this jubilation every time I score."
