The posts were soon deleted from Dulux's account, but several social media users took screenshots which circulated on Twitter throughout the day. "We're deeply sorry for the posts from Dulux this morning in response to the announcement of our relationship with @SpursOfficial," the apology read. The announcement of the partnership came with images of 'the Dulux dog' at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which prompted one Twitter user to ask: "Can the dog play centre-back?"
