Premier League site exposes player's penis

On the face of it, it looks like any other delightful piece of photography in a football match between Tottenham Hotspur and Wimbledon.

You know the one – when the defender makes a last ditch 'tackle' to deny the attacker a clear striking opportunity on goal.

Unfortunately for Wimbledon defender Warren Barton, his modesty was not protected by what can only be described as flimsy underwear.

The picture was placed on the official Premier League website under the player profile of Spurs midfielder Vincent Samways – but Barton certainly got more than he bargained for when he lunged into the challenge.

The picture was quickly removed by the website, but the damage had already been done, and Sports Mole has brought you the friendly version of the gaffe to enjoy.
