Gabba crowd chants ‘leggy’ as man skolls from prosthetic limb

Drinking beer at the cricket is an age-old Australian tradition, but one fan at the Gabba has taken it to a level possibly never before seen in the country.

The amputee used his own prosthetic leg as a giant vessel, as he filled it up with beer during Australia’s Test against Pakistan.

Cheers of ‘leggy’ rang out from fans around him as the man tilted his head back and downed the drink, to the obvious amusement of the Gabba faithful.

When he’d finished consuming the beverage, the man raised his prosthetic leg above his head in celebration.
