Video: Anthony Pilkington referred to as Karl Pilkington on Sky Sports News

Some might say there was an idiot abroad in the Sky Sports News studio this evening…

There was a time when Anthony Pilkington’s quite admirable beard (granted it’s nothing compared to Gordon D’Arcy’s) provoked comparisons with Irish MMA star Conor McGregor, but the Irish international was mistaken for someone with whom he shares nothing but a surname by Kirsty Gallacher on Sky Sports News ahead of Norwich’s clash with West Ham this evening.

Knowing how easy it is to make mistakes, we’d be inclined to go easy on Kirsty, but some might not be so empathetic as that and offer a harsher critique…

Hat-tip to Keith Reilly for going to a lot of trouble to send this our way
