Meet Wayne Shaw: your new hero.
Why? Because the 45-year-old substitute goalkeeper for Sutton proved time and time again during last night’s match against Arsenal that he was the consummate pro.
When all three subs were made and Shaw was in the clear, he did what any of us would do and started tucking into a pie.

He really gets stuck in, and we can respect that.

Not only that, but the man himself was also spotted in the bar at half-time having a cheeky half-pint. Got to keep your strength up somehow.

And his legendary behaviour didn’t stop there: here is Shaw doing his bit for the club and helping out with a spot of hoovering before the match.

Considering what an absolute hero he is, as you can imagine calls for him to be put into play soon became deafening.
If Wayne Shaw isn't on the teamsheet for Sutton v Arsenal tonight then the game should be called off. ???? pic.twitter.com/DZ86iK58jp

Sutton may have lost, but Shaw is the real winner in our eyes.
