Shrewsbury Town are at the centre of an internet sensation after an assistant referee was caught on camera carrying out an entertaining pre-match routine.

The introduction of cameras in the tunnel at football grounds has provided an insight into players' preparation, as well as capturing some of the game's most iconic moments.

Who can forget Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira going head to head at Highbury, the supreme focus of Gary Neville, cute mascots or the long list of opponents greeting each other as friends before entering the field of play for vital games?

But now assistant referee Graham Kane has added his name to the tunnel star hall of fame.

He put himself through an intense warm-up prior to this week's Charlton v Shrewsbury game - which was caught on Charlton's Tunnel Cam and posted to Twitter.

His partner, Anthony Da Costa, didn't look at Kane during his warm-up routine

Despite all his preparation, neither Kane or any of his team of officials had any major incidents to preside over as Charlton ran out easy 3-0 winners. A total of five corners and 18 fouls were awarded in the game.

Ricky Holmes scored twice, either side of a Johnnie Jackson goal, as the Addicks secured their first victory as they look to get back to the Championship at the first attempt following relegation at the end of last season.

Referees and their assistants need to be extra vigilant in the tunnel area this season, as they now have the power to send players off before they've even made it onto the pitch for the start of the game.

If this video is anything to go by, nobody can claim Kane is ill-prepared.
