James Maddison goes full John Terry in Europa League final as fans ask ‘is this a first?’
JAMES MADDISON has been accused of "doing a full John Terry" after Tottenham ended their 17-year trophy drought.
Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in a nervy Europa League final tonight.
Maddison, 28, missed the game as he is currently nursing a knee injury.
He wore a smart suit and white t-shirt as he joined TNT Sports for a chat before the game.
And he was spotted in the same outfit as the final whistle went, running onto the pitch to celebrate with team-mate Brennan Johnson.
But Maddison somehow found the time for a quick change as he reappeared for Spurs' trophy lift in his full kit.

The act saw him compared to John Terry, who famously performed a similar trick when he was suspended for Chelsea's Champions League win in 2012.
Maddison even managed to get his hands on a medal despite Uefa running out and captain Son Heung-min not getting one.
But Maddison later admitted he was told he had to wear a full kit or not get a medal, even saying: "I did not want to do a John Terry.
"I know I played a big part in the lead up and I deserved this just as much as all of us."
But fans still reacted on social media, writing: "James Maddison doing his best John Terry impression."
Another added: "James Maddison on punditry duties and then collecting a medal in full John Terry on the same night… is that a first?!"
More commented: "See there was no medal left for Son because James Maddison, who wasn't in the squad, did a John Terry, put on a kit and collected one."
But the midfielder was not the only one who did it as injured pair Lucas Bergvall and Dejan Kulusevski also swapped tracksuits for a full kit for the trophy celebrations.
Maddison was joined on the pitch by his partner Kennedy Alexa and the couple shared a touching kiss.
He played 11 times in the Europa League this season, scoring three goals en route to glory.
