A Sunday league football team who won a title downed larger and sang along near empty streets while they toured around in an open top bus.

College Wanderers FC also let off flares while touring around like premier league players after clinching the EC Surfacing Ltd Scunthorpe & District Football League Division One title.

The amateur team were celebrating their third trophy of the season, where they won 25 of their 29 matches, and were also awarded the Challenge Cup and Sporting Shield trophies.

The revellers told the Sun they spent £40 each hiring the bus for a 'laugh' and thought they'd 'feel a bit silly' but passed the 'funniest two hours' of their life instead.

In a video the team made up of labourers, a teacher and a car salesmen can be seen waving and cheering at the few people who passed by.

At one point the team of steel workers, a primary school teacher and car salesmen almost hit a tree as they were having such a great time.

Drinking cans and bottles of larger they can also be seen jumping up and down and cheering their win.

On Saturday, the team started from The Talbot Inn pub at around 2pm and were driven around Scunthorpe, only stopping for a cheeky pint.

They returned back to their local pub at around 4pm where they later had a BBQ and karaoke night.

Craig Hunsley, 36, the player-manager, said: 'One of the lads suggested we do it for a laugh if we won the treble.

'I thought we'd all feel a bit silly but it was among the funniest two hours of my life.

'We had cars following us, beeping their horns and people coming out of shops waving and cheering. It was magic.'

He added that 'none' of the team train as they have 'kids'.
