PFA programme error mistakes Middlesbrough midfielder for Arsenal Ladies star

He saw the funny side

Simon Lloyd

Middlesbrough midfielder Adam Clayton was the victim of a bizarre episode of mistaken identity at the PFA Player of the Year Awards on Sunday evening.

After it was decided by his fellow professionals that he was worthy of a place in the Championship’s team of the year, the 27-year-old’s name featured in the programme.

Much to Clayton’s amusement, the descriptive lines that accompanied his name were dedicated to a different player – Danielle Carter of Arsenal Ladies…

Fortunately, Clayton managed to see the funny side.
