Alan Sugar has sparked outrage with a tweet about the Senegal football team.

The former Tottenham chairman – and star of The Apprentice – posted a picture of the team who beat Poland 2-1 yesterday in their World Cup opener, alongside a selection of sunglasses.
He added the words: "I recognise some of these guys from the beach in Marbella. Multi tasking resourceful chaps."
It provoked a huge reaction in the comments.
And he later deleted the tweet, apologising for offence caused.
