THOSE football nutters seem to get everywhere and here’s the proof as a squirrel seems to be appealing for a penalty... or his next meal.

The incredible picture was taken by Martin Patten while on a trip to The British Wildlife Centre in Newchapel, Surrey.

The 47-year-old from Watford was on a trip with other budding photographers when he spotted the squirrels bizarre behaviour.

The father-of-one said he knew immediately that it would make for a great picture.

Bet that squirrel supports the Reds!
