'I became viral Transfer Deadline Day sensation - now I'm a pro golfer with PGA Tour dream' Transfer Deadline Day meme Peter Odemwingie swapped his football boots for golf clubs to pursue his dream of playing on the PGA Tour.

Odemwingie only started playing golf after arriving at West Brom back in 2010, before truly falling in love with the sport when he moved to Stoke four years later.

Odemwingie also drew comparisons between golf and football during his interview, explaining: "Sometimes the weight of the pass in football is as important as how hard you hit a putt in golf, so [it's] not just all about power.

However, in an embarrassing turn of events, Odemwingie was forced to make the long trip back up to West Brom after a deal failed to materialise.

After the turn of events, WBA chairman Jeremy Pearce also said that the club had no desire to sell core players, adding: "The only way we would have considered letting Peter leave was if an acceptable offer was forthcoming and if we had found a suitable replacement at relatively short notice.
