<i>Soccer stars act like monkeys when they score, says scientist

Footballers celebrate goals by kissing and slapping each other as part of a special ape-like male bonding ritual.



Scientists studied how and when footballers touch each other and believe their celebrations are part of a ritual previously seen only in primates.

Doctor Linda Kneidinger of Temple University in Philadelphia said the contact between men on the pitch would normally be deemed unacceptable.

She said: “Men find touching uncomfortable except in war and sport.”

The work published in the Journal of Non-Verbal Behaviour said sportsmen were 20 times more likely than women to slap each other on the bottom when playing sports.

It also found women have physical contact at home and when losing out of sympathy for each other.

But men touched each other when they were winning and playing away to encourage each other and celebrate victory, The Daily Record reports.</i>
