Essien FA Cup Final celebration

->> I saw this when I was watching my Chelsea win the FA Cup Final the other day - but I couldn't find a video or picture of it until now. Did anybody else see Michael Essien's celebration stealing the remote from behind the goal and going around taking pictures with it?

Also does anybody know whose camera it was?

The camera he picked up was that of Bradley Ormheiser who was working for the The Times.

Hope that helps.

->> Eric - I was always under the impression that it was "you press the shutter, you own the photo". But I'm sure there are plenty of arguments that could be made in Bradley's favor in this case That'd be interesting to see!

->> "The only negative (pardon the pun) was the focusing,"

So the images weren't in focus ad they published them anyway?

Nice to see that quality images aren't required outside the US either.
