He currently works as Arsenal's kit manager, and must have been surprised to see his name come up in a protest ahead of the side's FA Cup clash with Lincoln City. 

"Akers Out, Wenger out", a fan demanded in a photo that quickly did the rounds on Twitter, causing outrage and derision among fellow Gunners supporters. 

Either Akers is paying the price for somehow falling short in his kit duties, or one misguided soul has him confused with some other guilty party at the underachieving Premier League giants - because as far as we know, and just like Arsenal's freshly laundered shirts, the kitman is squeaky clean.
