It turned out to be only "Martin from Wakefield" leaving the journalist with his tail between his legs.

However, it's easy to see why he made the error, as the pair are like twins.

Now, fans on Twitter have been discussing their favourite sporting lookalikes... here are some of our favourites.

MESUT OZIL & ENZO FERRARI

ONE'S an Arsenal playmaker, the other one of the most famous names in motorsport... spot the difference.

In fact, it's commonly believed Ozil is the reincarnation of Ferrari, as he was born just weeks after the Italian legend's death.

BROCK LESNAR & KEVIN DE BRUYNE

Somewhat smaller, but many can see KDB's likeness to Lesnar

WWE and MMA sensation vs midfield maestro... it would be somewhat one-sided in the ring.

But on the football pitch, KDB would run rings around the martial arts star.

OLIVER SKIPP & TOBEY MAGUIRE

BUDDING Spurs midfielder or star of the noughties Spiderman films... who knows?

Come to think of it, Skipp doesn't have look like Tom Holland, too...

ROMA legend vs survival guru... both seemingly have the ability to keep on going though, right?

YEAH we can sort of see it... one's on his way to Chelsea and the other's a magician.

Blues fans will be hoping for a little magic from the Argentine too.

JUVENTUS legend and Czech Republic ace or US actor... think Point Break era.

It's not just the magnificent hair either, the eyes and facial hair are spot on. Spooky.

CESAR AZPILICUETA & PETER JONES

Separated at birth? Peter Jones and Cesar Azpilicueta are dead ringers

SLIGHTLY smaller sure, but who knew the Chelsea star looked like Dragons' Den giant Jones?

Azpilicueta does his business on the pitch though rather around boardroom tables.
