AN Arsenal fan will be wanting to give his team a dressing down after dressing up himself as a forfeit.

Martin Harding told colleagues at Essex Roofing Company, on Hawkins Road, Colchester, that he would come to work in womenswear for a week if the club didn't win any silverware this season.

Workmate Dean Wicks said: "Martin's extremely mouthy about Arsenal, and few months back when they were top of the Premiership and doing well in the Champions League he made the bet.

"But it all went wrong almost as soon as he said anything, and so yesterday he was in in his dress.

"He's been getting quite a bit of abuse, but these things have got to be honoured!"

Another employee, Dave Thurgood, had made a similar bet and admitted defeat last month and came to work in a dress for a day.
