Doncaster midfielder Richard Chaplow spotted on train with Stoke fans... just hours after they knocked his side out the FA Cup

Doncaster Rovers midfielder Richard Chaplow took to social media on Saturday night to show off a light-hearted video involving himself and some jubilant Stoke fans.

The travelling Potters fans spotted the former Southampton, Burnley, West Brom, Preston and Millwall midfielder on the train and begun to chant his name.

Chaplow was making his way back home following Doncaster's defeat against Stoke in the FA Cup third round when some quick-witted Potters spotted him on the carriage.

‘Richard Chaplow, you look like a thumb,’ they sang as the 30-year-old recorded the chants, which he later posted to his Twitter account.

Alongside the video, Chaplow wrote: ‘When you’ve just played Stoke and get recognised by their fans on the train after. Good set to be fair #awaydays’

Chaplow played 13 minutes of Doncaster’s cup clash as Mark Hughes’ side progressed thanks to goals from Peter Crouch and attacker John Walters.

Crouch handed the away side the lead with just 15 minutes played at the Keepmoat Stadium when he got on the end of a cross from Joselu.

The hosts equalised via in form striker Nathan Tyson just 10 minutes later but a second-half stunner from Walters ensured there was to be no cup upset in Doncaster.

Walters picked up the ball after a poor defensive clearance and lashed the ball past goalkeeper Thorsten Stuckmann just before the hour mark.
