Jeff Stelling replicates Gareth Ainsworth's style on live TV

After the Chairboys boss was jointly interviewed with Rotherham United’s manager, Paul Warne, on the popular football programme ahead of their side’s 0-0 draw at Adams Park, the cameras shot back to the much-loved football statistician in the Sky Sports studios, with an unbuttoned shirt, baring his chest.

Gareth Ainsworth with Paul Warne and @KatieShanahan3 for @SkyFootball: “Paul’s a top guy. We share similar values and we both try our best for our clubs. Today will be a real battle and these are the games we relish.”#WYCvROT pic.twitter.com/nC6HEb2e50

Stelling copied the look on March 12

The gag was much appreciated by the Soccer Saturday panellists in Paul Merson, Clinton Morrison, Kris Boyd and Darren Bent, as well as many social media users.

Stelling, who is leaving as the main talking head on the show at the end of the season, said: “Two really good managers, two real smashing guys and that Gareth Ainsworth, he’s a trendsetter isn’t he?”

During the hearty laughter that was heard throughout the studio, Stelling continued: “You lot [the panellists] are so far behind, that none of you have got the bottle to show people what you’ve got!

I think @JeffStelling enjoyed that Ainsworth interview a bit too much 😂 pic.twitter.com/PFgQXzgLtz
