German club caught rapid using random bloke in a mask at new player unveiling

Cunning plan goes awry

St Pauli were so eager to share their good news that they couldn’t wait for their manager.

The German side secured the capture of Marvin Ducksch from Borussia Dortmund today and quickly got the news out.

Ewald Lienen – presumably enjoying a few weeks off – was not there for the unveiling but that didn’t stop St Pauli.

The club tweeted out a picture of the 22-year-old with director of sport Thomas Meggle and… some lad in a black t-shirt and an Ewald Lienen mask.

On first viewing, the club almost got away with it. For about two minutes.

The club quickly spotted that this was only going one way so they held their hands, and mask up.

They would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for those pesky kids.
