Fan who brushed teeth at football match becomes YouTube hit

Football fan has a brush with fame during yesterday's Manchester United and Chelsea game


A football fan had a brush with fame when he was filmed cleaning his teeth during a football match.

The fan was captured on camera as he brushed his teeth in the middle of yesterday's crunch game between Chelsea and Manchester United.

The unidentified man was spotted with foam and a toothbrush in his mouth in the stands at Stamford Bridge.

He was visible for several seconds behind players Salomon Kalou and Michael Owen as they waited on the touchline to come on as second-half substitutes.

Sharp-eyed internet users posted the clip on YouTube and within hours it had been watched by more than 1,000 people.

BBC Radio 5 Live presenter DJ Spoony also spotted the fan, who bizarrely was wearing dark glasses.

He asked on air: 'Why has he got a toothbrush in the stadium?

'And more importantly, why is he brushing his teeth in the stadium?'

Co-host Gabriele Marcotti answered jokingly: 'Dental hygiene.

'Every time you eat something, you should brush your teeth afterwards.

'You were taught that, right? You should be flossing too, I would add.'

Spoony went on: 'So you're in the football stadium, you've had your pie, you brush your teeth. I mean where do you rinse, or gargle?'

The fan later answered Spoony's appeal to phone in and explain his strange behaviour.

He said he had not had time to brush his teeth before setting off for the game and was wearing dark glasses because his ex-girlfriend was there and he is "a ladies' man".

Chelsea won the top-of-the-table clash 1-0, thanks to a 76th minute goal from captain John Terry.
