Former Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis has been pranked by a caller who pretended to be Neil Lennon.

The caller, who speaks with a Northern Irish accent, got hold of Pulis' mobile number and left him a voicemail saying he was the Bolton Wanderers boss.

Pulis then called the prankster back and had a two-minute conversation with him - and was left none the wiser at the end of it.

During the call, the fake Neil Lennon suggests he is interested in signing West Brom midfielder Gareth McAuley for Bolton Wanderers, mainly because of his "leadership skills".

A video of the call was posted on YouTube by Harry McLaughlin, who wrote: "Pranked Tony Pulis pretending I was Neil Lennon looking for Gareth Macauley on loan for Bolton.

"I rung him, never answered, left him a voice mail and here's him ringing me back."
