Sam Allardyce finds £5 on the touchline and hilariously offers it to the fourth official

Sam Allardyce was feeling generous during Leeds' must-win match against West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday.

At 1-0 up, the Peacocks boss spotted a £5 note on the sidelines which he hilariously offered to the fourth official, Andrew Madley.

Madley jokingly pushed Allardyce away, gesturing him to return to the dugout where he attempted to re-gift the cash to assistant manager Karl Robinson.

He, too, refused the offering, leading 'big Sam' to tuck the money away in his pocket, laughing as he did.

Fans soon took to social media to discuss the hilarious exchange.

Replying to Sky Sports' video on Twitter, one user joked: "Big Sam’s just found Spurs entire summer transfer budget on the floor."

While another wrote: "It’s big Sam's world we’re just living in it."

A third added: "This man deserves to stay in the league."

But while it was all smiles in the dugout, Allardyce has a huge job on his hands on the pitch as he attempts to steer Leeds to safety, with relegation looming.

Leeds' top-scorer this season Rodrigo got his side off to a flying start at the London Stadium, lashing home a fierce volley from a long throw-in.

However, Allardyce's lucky afternoon soon took a turn, after Declan Rice tucked home Jared Bowen's cross to draw the Hammers' level before half-time.

With the scores all tied at 1-1, Leeds need another goal if they are get their noses in front of 17th-placed Everton in the league table.
