Southampton produce a comedy video for their new kit that’s actually funny

Well done Southampton Football Club…

Not only have the Saints entertained us with their exciting brand of attacking football, but they have managed the impossible – an official club video that’s actually hilarious.

Comedian Tom Davis plays Dr Barry Gale, the national game’s first ever ‘Player Integration Officer’, as part of the club’s #ShowYourStripes kit launch campaign.

It’s like The Office meets W1A, and is groundbreaking in that it’s an attempt at comedy by a Premier League club that’s not remotely cheesy or cringeworthy – and that’s including footballers too!

It’s a hefty 8 mintutes and 29 seconds long, so best to treat it like a comedy short rather than a quick watch. But trust us – it’s worth it…
