Watch: Jack Wilshere refuses to wear Tottenham shirt in funny prank

Despite leaving Arsenal in 2018, Jack Wilshere remains a big Gooner and is subsequently not a big fan of their north London rivals. 

During a recent appearance on talkSPORT, Wilshere tried to set a new Guinness World Record for most football shirts worn at once.

After putting on 30 different shirts, the 29-year-old seemingly needed one more to break the record and was then handed a Tottenham kit

He flat-out refused to wear it and was given a Wolves shirt instead. Presenter Andy Goldstein then revealed that he hadn’t actually set a new world record and the whole thing was a prank. 

The clip further endeared Wilshere to Arsenal supporters and it’s not the first time that he has shown how he feels about Tottenham.

During an open-top bus tour in 2015, he grabbed a microphone and shouted to thousands of Arsenal fans below: “I have one question, and one question only: what do we think of Tottenham?” After the crowd responded: “Shit”, he continued: “And what do we think of shit?”

Wilshere then joined in as the crowd sang: “We hate Tottenham and we hate Tottenham … we are the Tottenham haters.”
