‘My Shorts Are Going Up’: Bassey Laughs Off Premier League Wardrobe Woes
Fulham Football Club defender Calvin Bassey has responded publicly following a series of wardrobe malfunctions that occurred during the club’s recent Premier League fixture against Brighton.
During Saturday’s match at the Amex Stadium, Bassey experienced repeated issues with his matchday shorts, which visibly slipped from his waist on multiple occasions. The incident drew widespread attention from fans and commentators alike, with many questioning how the player managed to maintain focus and performance under such circumstances.
Despite the distraction, Fulham secured a hard-fought 1–1 draw, with Rodrigo Muniz netting a dramatic late equalizer. The result was a testament to the team’s resilience, even as Bassey’s shorts became an unexpected talking point.
On Monday, Bassey addressed the situation via social media, posting a succinct five-word message: ‘My shorts are going up 😊.’ The lighthearted response was met with amusement and support from fans, many of whom praised the player’s composure and sense of humor.
This is not the first time Bassey has encountered similar issues. In April, during a warm-up at the Emirates Stadium ahead of Fulham’s clash with Arsenal, the defender’s shorts slipped while engaging in playful banter with home supporters. That match ended in a 2–1 defeat for Fulham, with a late goal from Muniz serving as a consolation.
Fulham FC remains focused on its upcoming fixture against Manchester United at Craven Cottage, scheduled for Sunday. The club is confident that Bassey, a key figure in Marco Silva’s defensive setup, will be fully prepared—both tactically and sartorially—for the challenge ahead.
