Chelsea cult hero, 46, looks unrecognisable as he finds creative way to watch team after ban

DAMIEN DUFF looked unrecognisable as he found an ingenious way to watch his Shelbourne side play.

The former Chelsea and Fulham star is now managing the League of Ireland Premier Division.

Duff, 46, was banned for Shelbourne's Friday night trip to title contenders Bohemian.

He picked up a suspension after being shown his fifth booking during the victory over St Patrick's Athletic last week.

But this did not stop him from finding a way to watch his side play.

The retired winger was pictured standing on a hill overlooking Dalymount Park.

He had disguised himself with a face covering and a cap combo.

However, some fans spotted him through the facade but found his actions brilliant.

One posted: "Interesting viewpoint for Damien Duff at Dalymount Park."

A second wrote: "Possibly my favourite LOI picture of all time. Damien Duff serving his touchline ban during Shelbourne’s visit to Dalymount Park to take on Bohemians."

A third joked: "Damien Duff in the ghillie suit."

A fourth commented: "Iconic already."

A fifth said: "Suspended manager, on a hillside, desolate."

Another added: "Say what you like about him, but this guy's brilliant entertainment."

Duff would not have been happy at full-time as his Shelbourne side lost 1-0 due to a Dayle Rooney penalty.

He also had to watch on as the team was reduced to just nine players as Mark Coyle and Alistair Coote were sent off.
