Footy fan who was previously banned from the New Zealand Warriors games for doing a shoey is back with a disgusting new way to celebrate a try
- Calley Gibbons sniffed a mouthful of mayonnaise during the Warriors game
- He’s the same fan who got a lifetime ban in 2022 after doing a shoey
- Gibbons’ latest post-tryout antics will shock football fans young and old
The colorful footy fan who was previously banned by the New Zealand Warriors after doing a shoey is back – and his new post-try party is turning his stomach.
Calley Gibbons was spotted devouring a mouthful of pot mayonnaise in the stands on Friday night, seconds after fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad crossed the line against the Dragons midway through the first half in Auckland.
Supporters online were shocked by the vision, with one speaking for many when he called Gibbons’ antics “bizarre.”
Gibbons, an Auckland bricklayer, was handed a lifetime ban from the NRL club in August last year after being seen guzzling beer from a shoe just outside the coach box.
He quickly gained cult hero status from other sports fans – and eventually had his ban overturned after an online petition that garnered thousands of signatures.

“I was kicked out of the stadium and the guard escorted me out and told me I had a life ban,” Gibbons said last year.
“Your guess is as good as mine as to why I was kicked out. It’s just wrong.
‘I told them that I bought the beer on the spot, that I wasn’t drunk and that it was up to me how I consumed the beer.
“I’m not sure if a particular guard had it on me. He said to me: ‘You will not come back here in this life’.
Gibbons – also commonly known as Roger “Shoey” Vasa-Sheck – has been a regular coach at Warriors home games since 2006.

After receiving a lifetime ban from matches in Auckland in 2022, other fans rallied around the tradition, who subsequently saw the ban overturned.
His father, Ron Gibbons, was deeply involved with the club for most of his life and knew club great Stacey Jones personally.
It remains to be seen what the club thinks of Gibbons’ latest food choice, but one thing is certain: Andrew Webster is on track to be named NRL Coach of the Year, with the Warriors nestled in the top four as the finals lie ahead.
Webster replaced interim coach Jones in the off-season and led his team to an impressive record of 16 wins and seven losses in his first season at the helm.
Veteran halfback Shaun Johnson has turned back the clock, and players like Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Addin Fonua-Blake have also been in sparkling form.
