Video: Manchester City pull April Fools' joke on supporters with fake referee

Manchester City decided to get involved in April Fools' Day by pulling a prank on the club's fans.

Members of the Manchester City Supporters Football Club were invited to the Premier League side's training ground to compete against City staff in a game.

They were tricked into believing that they were preparing the staff for a competitive fixture, but in reality, it was just a platform for kitman Les Chapman to disguise himself as a referee.

During the match, Chapman, who donned a fake ginger beard for the prank, purposefully put on a poor refereeing performance.
