CALVIN BASSEY has broken his silence after he suffered a bizarre wardrobe malfunction.
The Fulham star, 25, saw his shorts repeatedly fall down during their visit to Brighton on Saturday afternoon.
Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls saw their pants pulled down by Marco Silva’s Cottagers as they snatched a 1-1 draw thanks to a last-gasp Rodrigo Muniz equaliser.
But Bassey had to endure this issue repeatedly at the Amex, with fans joking he may need to invest in a tighter fitting pair.
And the former Ajax star broke his silence on social media on Monday with a five-word message.
He said: “My shorts are going up,” and added a smiley face to his message.
In response, one fan said: “It’s all a distraction for rivals Calvin.”
A second said: “Surprised there hasn’t been sponsorship offers from boxer companies, or even a belt company.”
A third added: “They called you out.”
Many others responded with laughing emojis.
However, it is not the first time Bassey has suffered a shorts related malfunction in a Premier League game.
In April, during a trip to face Arsenal at the Emirates, Bassey was seen warming up on the sideline.
But as he bent over by the corner flag and engaged in some banter with the Gooners in the crowd – who sang “who are ya?” towards him – by patting his backside, disaster struck.
Their attention was quickly drawn from the exchange of jokes, with Gunners star Bukayo Saka scoring in the 73rd minute.
That goal ended up being decisive as a 94th minute Rodrigo Muniz strike served to only be a consolation.
Fulham face Manchester United at Craven Cottage next Sunday.
