U’S fans have hijacked Twitter to hail cult hero George Elokobi.

The hulking centre half notched a rare goal – a 25-yard curling effort – to move Colchester United back into the play-off spots and secure a 1-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday night.

And now fans have taken to social media to celebrate Big George with some alternative but funny facts.

Elokobi’s return to the team late last year sparked a fantastic run of form for the U’s and the popular defender has taken to celebrating victories with the fans, even playing the fan’s drum at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.
