Man City striker Adebayor caught out by rogue mobile on air

Manchester City ace Emmanuel Adebayor was caught out on the BBC.

Adebayor was caught out at the start of the BBC's coverage of Japan v Cameroon when his mobile rang live on air.

The Manchester City striker sheepishly turned his phone off - but not before he had been lampooned by host Gary Lineker and fellow Beeb pundit Alan Shearer..

Lineker quipped: "Is that for you? Is it Samuel Eto'o?" Shearer added: "No, it's Roger Milla.".

The big disappointment was the Togo striker had a boring, bog-standard ringtone.
