Dimitar Berbatov upstaged by Claude from The Apprentice at Wembley

Yes, it WAS him

Tottenham played their second Champions League match under the Wembley arch on Wednesday night, with 87,000 heading to the national home of football for the visit of Bayer Leverkusen.

Naturally, there were a few former Spurs players in attendance for the match with the German club, with TV cameras picking out one familiar face during the coverage of the first half.

Dimitar Berbatov was a fan favourite during his two years at White Hart Lane (not so much when he decided to leave for Manchester United in 2008), and also spent five years in the Bundesliga with Leverkusen. But a brief glimpse of the Bulgarian watching the match from the stands didn’t excite viewers anything like as much as the sight of the man that was sitting in front of him…

Yep, that’s right. British business executive Claude Littner, of The Apprentice fame, appeared to be sitting in the row in front of Berbatov… and plenty of folk on Twitter were quick to clock it.

He might have found himself sitting slightly nearer to the pitch than him, but we doubt that Claude’s first touch is anything like as silky as Dimitar’s ever was.
