Tommy Fury embarrasses Jack Wilshere at Soccer Aid as fans say ‘I’d walk off’

Tommy Fury embarrassed Arsenal hero Jack Wilshere at Soccer Aid – by nutmegging the former international with his first touch of the ball.

The professional boxer, who beat Jake Paul earlier in the year, took to the pitch at Old Trafford for the World XI with Wilshere playing for England.

Wilshere, 31, only retired from pro football last year but was bamboozled by Fury who rolled the ball through his legs to the delight of those watching on at home.

One fan posted on Twitter: “Tommy Fury just nut megged Jack Wilshere – oh how the mighty have fallen.”

A fourth added: “Tommy Fury’s first contribution was to nutmeg Jack Wilshere. I love Soccer Aid man.”
