‘I’ll be surprised if Tony Adams’ suit doesn’t have its own Twitter account by the final whistle’

And so eventually, despite the attempts of a man sitting on top of their team bus, Arsenal arrived at Bloomfield Road for their FA Cup Third Round tie with Blackpool on Saturday evening.

Also in attendance was former captain Tony Adams, whose choice of suit – an eye-catching pastel blue colour – as he appeared as a pundit on BT Sport’s coverage of the game certainly sparked a reaction on social media.

Gary Lineker predicted it would have its own Twitter account before the end of the night…

Jonathan Walters suggested it was a nod to Austin Powers…

Whereas others were reminded of Dumb and Dumber

A bold choice, we’re sure you’ll agree. So bold, it helped Adams’ top the UK Twitter trends for the entirety of the game.
