Amateur rugby union players from Hackney had a shock when they turned up for a training match - to see a former Super Bowl champion among the opposition.
Hackney RFC's players rocked up on Wednesday for a 30-minute friendly, only to find former NFL star Jason Kelce playing for local rivals Old Streetonians.
Kelce - older brother of Travis, the three-time Super Bowl winning Kansas City Chiefs tight end married to global pop superstar Taylor Swift - played 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The 38-year-old is now learning to play different sports for his Youtube channel, and had a rugby lesson from former Harlequins and England prop Joe Marler.
"It's a nice little story being able to say we played rugby against Taylor Swift's brother-in-law, which I'm sure he loves as a title," Hackney full-back Peter Scott joked to BBC Sport.
"It's amazing that the sporting community, not even just the rugby community, can make these sorts of things happen. It was pretty surreal and it's pretty cool."
Kelce was part of Philadelphia's 2018 Super Bowl winning side and earned seven selections to the Pro Bowl - the annual NFL game featuring the league's top players - before retiring in 2024.
He was joined by former Philadelphia team-mate Beau Allen, also a member of that Eagles championship side of eight years ago, at Hackney Marshes in London this week.
