Footballer initiations are rarely released to the public, so as to save the player in question having his embarrassment at having to perform in front of a new batch of teammates from being shared with the world. There are exceptions, however.
Steven Fletcher's recent transfer to Marseille turned a few heads on transfer deadline day with many in France not having a clue who he was/is, and many in England wondering how his agent managed to get him a move to one of the bigger sides in Ligue 1 with such a modest Premier League goalscoring record, but nevertheless, that's now where he's playing his ball.
And he's made a good start too with a goal and an assist in the cup last week, but he'll have to do far more to earn the trust of his teammates after he decided to rap the theme tune from 'The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air' as his initiation:

At least he got a chuckle from his teammates, but that was shocking.
Steven Fletcher, the Fresh Price of Falkirk.
And by the way, anyone who thinks we are being harsh on Fletcher should know that we are judging him on the 'Kevin Kilbane - Vanilla Ice - Footballer/Rapper Scale':
