Football legend Paul Merson makes hilarious social media gaffe which proves he doesn't write his own tweets

Eagle eyed social media users have spotted a light-hearted social media gaffe from Arsenal legend Paul Merson.

Merson is counted among the best-loved former players at the north London club, playing over 420 times for the Gunners in 12 years at Highbury, scoring 99 times in the process.

He has since successfully transitioned into a job in the media, having featured on Sky Sports coverage in recent years, having officially hung up his boots in 2012 having seemingly retired in 2006.

However, his recent social media activity saw some send light-hearted jibes his way, after seemingly forgetting to edit a message before posting it on X, formerly Twitter.
