FOOTBALL: British cyclist Sir Chris Hoy has been accidentally targeted on Twitter by Tottenham fans angry with referee Chris Foy following Sunday’s defeat at Stoke. Foy made several controversial calls and a number of Spurs fans have mistakenly written to Olympic champion Hoy expressing their displeasure. “Getting some rather amusing grief from Spurs fans!” Hoy said on Twitter. “Just for the record 1) I don’t need glasses and 2) I do not lead a double life as a ref. That’s Chris Foy.”
