Facebook is a bit confused about Andy Townsend's new job

There's been a gaping chasm in the football world since Andy Townsend called time on his distinguished pundit career with ITV last year.

Unfortunately for the Maidstone-born Irishman, it seems whoever Mr. Zuckerberg asked to add a bit more detail to the story got in a bit of a muddle, announcing that Townsend had actually just bagged himself a role at Boston Wanderers.

Incidentally, 'Boston Wanderers' do exist, but their website appears to be something to do with golf.
