David Hasselhoff and this Manchester City star just cemented their special bond…

One is a legend of 90s American TV, the other is a veteran midfielder at Manchester City.

It sounds like some bizarre fictional friendship, but David Hasselhoff and Yaya Toure are in fact real-life pals. They apparently met while Baywatch legend The Hoff was appearing in panto in Manchester several years ago. But here's proof their friendship still burns bright - Hasselhoff posted a picture of himself wearing Toure's famous No.42 shirt after City's 2-0 win against Everton. https://twitter.com/DavidHasselhoff/status/635522537800253440/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw He's obviously still a huge City fan. He didn't even tag the 32-year-old Ivorian in the tweet, but the two are such good pals that Toure hit him back with an equally complimentary message... Awwwww... https://twitter.com/YayaToure/status/635544229020860416 H/T Manchester Evening News
