Man City ace Ederson poses with Tommy Robinson… but he ‘had no idea who he was’
EDERSON denied being a fan of Tommy Robinson — after posing for a photo with the far-right thug.
Robinson’s bodyguard Daniel Thomas posted a snap of former BNP member and EDL founder Robinson with Manchester City star Ederson on Tuesday afternoon.
Thomas wrote: “Tommy Robinson meeting city’s golden boy @edersonmoraes93 last night, has his full support while in Manchester.”
However, the Man City goalkeeper hit back, accusing Thomas of lying.
The Brazilian said he wouldn’t have posed with Robinson if he knew who he was.
Ederson tweeted: “People have made me aware of who this guy is.
“I definitely do not support this guy or his ideas.
“He just stopped me for a picture.
“I had no idea who he was (do not be a liar).”
