Watch: Ex-Sheffield Wednesday star Chris Waddle '˜honoured' as Arctic Monkeys sing to him at Newcastle show

Front man Alex Turner ended an a-capella version of '˜Mardy Bum' with a round of 'there's only one Chrissy Waddle' and 'walking in a Wadde wonderland' as the ex-Owls man watched on in the audience.

Turner and his band mates Jamie Cook, Matt Helders and Nick O'Malley are all Wednesday supporters and have even used guitar picks with Waddle's face on them when performing in the past.

Inside the room where Arctic Monkeys first rehearsed in Sheffield: 'They were definitely going to be stars'

Waddle, who made 109 appearances in a four year spell with the Owls between 1992 and 1996, took to Twitter to thank the band for the special tribute, saying: 'Thank you @ArcticMonkeys totally honoured.

'Saw the Arctic Monkeys last night in Newcastle how good are there thank you you're brilliant.'

The Newcastle show was the last leg of the Sheffield band's UK tour before they head to America next month.
