A stunned footie fan who was mistaken for a Premiere League star poses for pictures and signs autographs for 'hundreds' of fans as he plays along with the mix-up.

Aston Villa fan Amando Boakye arrived at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia, Spain last Saturday to watch his favourite team play, but hilarious footage shows he was quickly surrounded by spectators.

The 23-year-old spent an hour interacting with local supporters who 'thought he was a player' - largely due to his sky blue training top complete with a squad number and slim fit jogging bottoms.

Amando, who had travelled from Ghana to watch his first live game, says 'it was a dream come true' to be treated like one of his heroes.
