Team-mate John Welsh, who posted the pics on his Twitter account, then attempted to goad MMA star Conor McGregor into a reply.

McGeady was paying tribute the 32-time wrestling champ winner in spectacular fashion.

Hart, now 59, was famed for his 'sharpshooter' move and was known as the 'excellence of execution'.

The irony of McGeady dressing up as a man of such monikers wills trike Everton fans as ironic.

McGeady failed to live up to the hype after a big-money move to Everton in 2014.

He has since been loaned to Sheffield Wednesday, before joining PNE at the beginning of this season, netting once in 11 outings.
