Paul Chuckle and Tim Vine deliver Wembley football trophy on takeaway bikes

Football fans were treated to the sight of TV stars Paul Chuckle and Tim Vine dropping off the cup and matchball for the Papa John’s Trophy final at Wembley on pizza delivery bikes.

Rotherham fan Chuckle and Sutton supporter Vine made the appearance before Sunday’s thrilling clash between the two sides, the culmination of a tournament open only to the 48 teams in the bottom two tiers of the English Football League.

The pair entered the arena from opposite ends to the strains of Vine’s cup final song Rock Your Tambourine, with Chuckle’s bike carrying the trophy on the back.

The two comedians then pulled the matchball out of a takeaway container on the back of Vine’s bike and placed it on a plinth.

Vine wrote: “We couldn’t have been any closer to winning it without actually winning it. A stunning effort from Sutton United today.”
