Fans left absolutely baffled as Chesterfield manager’s ‘accent changes’ halfway through post-match interview | The Sun

CHESTERFIELD manager Paul Cook went viral as he stunned fans during his post-match interview when his voice suddenly changed completely.

Cook led the Spireites to a 1-1 draw with Oldham in a National League clash on Saturday at the Technique Stadium.

The 56-year-old tactician looked back at his team's performance at home and admitted they could have done better against the Latics.

Cook told TNT Sports: "Have we played well? Not particularly. Was there a lot of chances in the game? No.

"You know, Oldham clearly came to get behind the ball and frustrate us – which they done really well.

"You know, for us our keeper; has he made a save? You know, I don't feel we worked Oldham's goalkeeper anywhere enough."

One supporter tweeted: "Went from scouse to geordie in seconds."

Another commented: "Which one is his real voice and why is this happening?"

Chesterfield goalkeeper Harry Tyrer was then attacked by a fan and supporters fought on the pitch.

Referee Matthew Russell blew his whistle before the game restarted despite there still being a small amount of time to play, but the Spireites' manager insists that was the correct decision.

Cook added: “Unfortunately, at the end there, it can’t go on. When fans come on the pitch we have got to protect the players.
