Tamworth vs Tottenham kick-off DELAYED as players get piggyback to tape up net after spotting hole in goal
TOTTENHAM’S FA Cup tie at Tamworth was delayed by around five minutes after a hole was spotted in one of the goal nets.
When the issue was identified, Tamworth players worked together to fix it and get the game going.
Tamworth ace Beck-Ray Enoru got up on team-mate Jordan Cullinane-Liburd’s shoulders to use sellotape on the net.
Earlier this week, SunSport revealed that Enoru works as a shop assistant for Zara, alongside being a part-time footballer.
Cullinane-Liburd told SunSport of Enoru: “Best and most energetic dancer. Dances a crazy lot for someone who doesn’t drink.
“Might be something to do with 12 Red Bulls he downs on team nights out.”
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou saw the funny side of the incident, laughing as he waited for play to get underway.
The Aussie’s dugout had Tamworth supporters crammed in right behind it.
Postecoglou, 59, selected several high-profile stars for the cup tie.
The likes of James Maddison, Yves Bissouma and Brennan Johnson all started the David vs Goliath clash.

Ahead of the game, SunSport revealed the inside of the away dressing room that would be occupied by Spurs stars.
The tiny Portakabin houses one L-shaped bench, a battered and torn massage table, one rickety tactics board, a plastic bin and a portable electric heater.
Spurs came into the game fresh from beating Liverpool 1-0 in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.
On Wednesday night they will return to Premier League action against Arsenal.
