Wimbledon fans in stitches as lost fan wanders onto Centre Court clutching beer before he’s escorted off by security
FANS were left in stitches as a lost fan wandered around Centre Court with a four-pack of drinks before being led away by security.
The lucky ticket holder was in the house for Carlos Alcaraz‘s first round clash with qualifier Mark Lajal.
Returning from getting a round in, however, he found himself in a spot of bother.
As he clutched a four-pack, which appeared to contain two beers and a pair of Pimm’s, the fan took a wrong turn.
In footage captured by TV cameras, he ended up walking out in front of the Centre Court scoreboard.
When he realised his error he wore a look of confusion, before turning back the way he came.
From there, he was taken by the arm by a security guard and led in the right direction.
After his gaffe was posted on social media by the BBC, the fan received his moment in the spotlight.
Responding to the clip, one fan wrote: “He values those precious beer cups more than anything.”
While a second joked: “His boss watching this.”
