Linesman Forgets His Football Boots For League Two Fixture, Wears Smart Shoes Instead

Linesman Forgets His Football Boots For League Two Fixture, Wears Smart Shoes Instead

He's had a nightmare, the lad.

It's the height of winter on a cold morning in secondary school and as you enter the famous changing rooms to begin a classic P.E lesson, disaster strikes in the form of a missing pair of football boots.

Reality soon hits when you realise that the only footwear available are the ones on your feet from ShoeZone.

You could browse the dreaded lost and found box for a spare pair, but that would be the ultimate sacrifice. It was going to be a long, painful lesson.

As we reminisce about those magical school days, spare a thought for this clumsy League Two linesman, who clearly picked up a lesson or two back in school after he forgot his boots during Tranmere's win over Morecambe on Boxing Day.

Scott Oldham's assistant decided to take things into his own hands and run the line in his smart shoes.

Twitter user Grant White, who originally posted the image to social media, questioned whether he had a note for his lack of appropriate footwear.

Let's hope he did.

These smart shoe antics at Prenton Park last year certainly got people as Cole Stockton, James Norwood and Jay Harris found the net in an easy win for Tranmere over their League Two counterparts.

We feel your pain, Mr Linesman but don't worry. You've just rekindled many school memories at the most wonderful time of the year.

And for that we thank you.
