VIDEO: Random lad poses as Chelsea player, takes pictures and signs autographs for Thai fans

Some chancer

Chelsea are doing their utmost to break into the lucrative Asian market.

But it looks like some fans in Bangkok are struggling to recognise all of Jose Mourinho’s players after they got way too excited about one messer who was masquerading as a squad member.

The convincing joker was nothing but courteous as he posed for photographs and signed jerseys for his adoring fans before promising to come back with his teammates later on.

We couldn’t help but notice that he signed one particular notepad with his “squad number” 29. We did the research and found that there is no number 29 in the Chelsea ranks but the last man to wear that jersey was Samuel Eto’o.

And we have a hard time believing that these supporters are mistaking this guy for the Cameroonian.
