ISL 2017: Conor Thomas - Thought Teddy Sheringham's invite to join ATK a prank

Swindon Town chairman Lee Power instrumental to unite the Manchester United fan with his childhood idol in India...

"Hello"

"Hello, this is Teddy"

"Teddy who?"

Conor Thomas thought his mates were trying to pull a prank on him by posing as Teddy Sheringham, inviting the midfielder to join his Indian Super League (ISL) side ATK.

Turning out to be the former England international himself, the 24-year-old did not waste any time to pack his bags and join the two-time ISL champions, an opportunity to play under the tutelage of his childhood icon in the subcontinent.
