Newcastle's Rafa Benitez dons shorts while training in sub-zero blizzard
Despite the north east of England being currently engulfed by freezing blizzards, Rafa Benitez didn't appear to be phased by the sub-zero conditions at Newcastle's training centre.
While most of his players and staff were wrapped up warm in tights, scarves, gloves and hats, Newcastle boss Benitez proved his mettle by taking the session in shorts.

That said, there's a fine line between toughness and insanity!
