A student lookalike who has been mistaken for SAFC goalkeeper Anthony Patterson has considered the possibility that they could be related.
Leon Wastell-Ayre was told by members of his Middlesbrough supporting family that he looked a lot like the 22-year-old Sunderland goalkeeper when the two teams faced-off earlier this season. Leon, who is a goalkeeper himself and plays football for Middlesbrough College, realised the similarities in appearance, and now suspects the pair could even be related.
The 18-year-old, who lives in Billingham and was adopted, says it's probably unlikely the pair are long-lost brothers, but insists "you never know", as his birth mother is from Wearside and Patterson hails from North Shields.
