Football fans cry conspiracy after him from One Direction wins club competition

Foul play?

Tom Victor

We’re willing to bet the Venn diagram of football fanatics and One Direction superfans doesn’t have a huge amount of crossover.

And the ill-will towards the boyband is only likely to grow after the latest development involving Louis Tomlinson, the one with the haircut, you know who we mean.

Tomlinson, who attempted to buy hometown club Doncaster Rovers in 2014, has (jointly with his grandfather) won a competition to design the League One club’s new away shirt.

You’d think his fellow Rovers supporters would be happy to share in his success, right? Wrong.

20 fans who buy the shirt will have it signed by the pop star, but the club has denied claims of a fix.

Still, that has not stopped suggestions that not everything was above board.
