Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings was up for a little footy on Tuesday. The problem? His team's season is over.
But Mings found a simple solution thanks to the wonderful world of Twitter.

It all started with a lament from Mings followed by a local man, likely just as a lark, replying with a time and place for a local kickaround.

But then something fantastic happened. Mings, who joined Bournemouth in 2015 for a reported £8m, actually said he was going to turn up. And there was visual evidence later that he did in fact drop by.

The 24-year-old seemed to genuinely enjoy his kickabout, posting a picture afterward of the group.

We can only hope this will lead to a string of Premier League footballers finding some local seven-a-side matches to occupy them during the off-season!
