One Chelsea FC fan got more than he bargained for while visiting Thailand after he was mistaken for one of the club’s famous footballers.
And deciding it wasn’t such a bad thing, Ryan Weston decided to play up to the attention.
The Briton was visiting Bangkok at the same time as Chelsea played a Thailand all-stars team in a friendly, and as luck would have it, ended up staying in the same hotel as the squad.
Ryan Weston poses for photographs and signs shirts of fans who thought he was a Chelsea footballer
After leaning in for a photograph with a girl outside the hotel’s reception, Mr Weston decided to take on the role of a multi-millionaire footballer, urged on by his friends recording the footage.
‘Come on then, one more,’ he says as he beckons another girl forward who thinks he is a footballer playing for Jose Mourinho’s Premier League champions.

Weston then spends the next 30 seconds writing a rather elaborate note, obviously signed, for one fan.
He then decides to really ramp it up by marking two football shirts, while someone in the background shouts: ‘You’ve got them queuing up here son.’
There’s time for another selfie and another two shirt-signings before the footage ends.
Ryan Weston is urged by others to play up to the fact that the local thought he was a Chelsea footballer
