Twitter-using Tottenham fans have been mixing up cyclist Chris Hoy and referee Chris Foy – and sending the Olympic champion abuse meant for the latter, following controversial decisions during Spurs' defeat to Stoke City at the weekend. Here's how to tell the two apart:

• Hoy's thighs could have been painted by Rubens; Foy's by LS Lowry.

• "On your bike" is Hoy's daily mantra; it's the only publishable thing said to Foy by Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp.

• Hoy punches the air in celebration; Foy points an accusatory finger.

• Hoy dresses like Neneh Cherry; Foy dresses like a schoolboy Johnny Cash.

• Hoy takes a picture of Prince William to the barber's; Foy takes a picture of Dame Judi Dench.
