Football icon Arturo Vidal may have just won the award for the most crazy transfer unveiling in history.
The 36-year-old certainly made his presence known in his royal homecoming to boyhood club Colo-Colo - 17 years after departing the Chilean giants.

Vidal has seen it all from his career, from winning league titles at Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Juventus and Inter Milan, to lifting back-to-back Copa America titles.
But you can be sure the 35,000 fans that packed out the Estadio Monumental David Arellano had never seen quite a spectacle as he made his long-awaited comeback in style.
Given a truly unique red carpet treatment by Colo-Colo, the midfielder arrived to the stadium in a helicopter.
He was then draped in a cloak and presented with a crown and sword, as he paraded around the pitch while riding a horse.
Vidal, slapping his chest to show his appreciation to his adoring fans, proceeded to give a speech to those in attendance.
But he was drowned out by the jubilant supporters, who are buzzing by the legend's return following the three league titles he won between 2004-2007.
It's needless to say that social media has been sent into meltdown over the theatrics of his unveiling.
One X user said: "Arturo Vidal's grand entrance back to Colo Colo is the stuff of legends!"
