Monkey presents match ball ahead of J League clash

Before Sunday's crunch J League fixture, the match ball was delivered to referee Hiromu Kimura by a macaque dressed head to toe (or knee) in the brightly coloured Osaka kit.

Donning his pink shirt proudly, the critter struggled at first to show off some silky skills, before calmly picking up the size five ball and handing it over to Kimura – who promptly posed for a photo with his new primate pal.
