Tony said: “This a shout-out to Minchinhampton Football Club – come on guys.

“Top of the league I hear at the moment.
“But most importantly I want you to stick Mike up front.
“I think he’s got to go there – one assist, one goal in the last couple of games.

“Just get him up front man. Get him up front and you’ll win the league.
“Come on Minchinhampton. God bless.”
A club spokesperson responded: “Thanks for the shout-out Tony Adams.
“You made the Minchinhampton Football Club gaffer and Arsenal fan Martyn Lowe a very happy man.
“Not sure he will follow your advice on this one though.”
