Tottenham star Christian Eriksen is unlikely to ever step foot in the fourth division of English football... but that isn't to say he doesn't enjoy watching it.

The Denmark international took some time away from the top flight on Tuesday night to travel to Crawley Town's Checkatrade Stadium, where they faced Exeter.

Eriksen was supporting the Grecians, and even stepped foot into their changing room after the game to take some pictures with the players.

Midfielder Jack Stacey, on loan from Reading, posted a snap to Twitter alongside the caption: 'Couldn't resist opportunity to get a pic with this world class player in our changing room after!'

On the pitch, Exeter were 2-1 victors over Dermot Drummy's Crawley, and Stacey later joked Eriksen was a 'huge fan', noting: 'He did tell me how he'd grown up watching Exeter City as a young lad back in Denmark.'

Eriksen is more used to Premier League football, and has played 35 times for Spurs this season

It is understood Eriksen was in West Sussex with his friend and Exeter fan Ray Kelvin, founder of fashion chain Ted Baker.

Kelvin is good friends with Exeter boss Paul Tisdale - regarded by some as the best-dressed man in football management.

Exeter's victory over Crawley kept them sixth in League Two.

They now have a three-point cushion between themselves and Mansfield just outside the playoffs.

Last season, they finished a lowly 14th but are set to provide a real challenge for promotion this campaign.

A few tips from Tottenham's Eriksen will surely have helped their cause.
