Furious Grimsby fans sign petition to stop Boris Johnson from wearing team’s hat

Football fans have signed a petition to stop Boris "Bozo" Johnson wearing one of their club’s bobble hats.

The ex-PM was spotted in the black and white Grimsby Town FC headgear as he left the Covid inquiry after giving evidence. But fed-up supporters insist the benched PM is not fit to wear the team’s titfer and is 'bringing Grimsby into serious disrepute’.

Nearly 500 signed an online petition demanding he leaves their hat off. Organiser John Dale raged Bozo has no formal connection to the club and accused him of using Grimsby “to add lustre and glamour to his own shattered life”.

He added: “He is also bringing Grimsby into serious disrepute.This petition asks that Johnson stops wearing the hat and adopts [a] hat more suited to his lowly status eg MUFC.”

Kathryn Wheatley, labour leader of North East Lincolnshire council, backed the call. She said: "To be associated with that bumbling liar is not something we would want for our community, our town or our club."

Bozo has been pictured in a range of GTFC hats – mainly on early morning runs with his dog Dilyn. But he has admitted he does not wear them because he is a fan of the League Two club. He said: “It’s what I grab when I run out the house.

”There’s no particular science to it. It’s a very good hat. It’s lovely and warm.”
