After footage of a youthful Turkish football fan smoking a cigarette went viral, local media have since revealed he is a 36-year-old man.

The spectator dragged on a cigarette as he watched Bursaspor's 2-1 win over Fenerbahce at the Timsah Arena in Bursa on Sunday.

People watching the broadcast seized upon it as a moral calamity as he was was shown relaxing on his char while puffing away next to a child.

But it has since turned out he is well into his 30s and the youngster beside him was actually his son, rather than a school peer.
