Fresh Prince of... Marseille! Steven Fletcher raps popular TV theme tune at initiation

The team initiation is often dreaded by footballers but Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher appeared to relish the chance at his new club.

The Scotland international, who signed for Ligue 1 side Marseille on a season-long loan earlier this month, warmed himself to his new team-mates with a rendition of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s theme tune.

Clinking his glass to grab their attention, Fletcher tells his colleagues that his imitation song will be carried out in English.

WHAT WAS THE FRESH PRINCE? 

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was a popular American sitcom in the 90’s which pretty much launched the career of Will Smith. Over six seasons and 148 episodes the comedy followed the life of Smith’s character, a fictionalised version of himself, who moves from West Philadelphia to move in with his Aunt and Uncle into a Bel Air mansion.

Fletcher managed to successfully rap part of the popular 90’s sitcom’s title sequence, which starred Hollywood favourite Will Smith, and received a rapturous applause from his new side.

Meanwhile former Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby, yet to make his Marseille debut as his injury struggles continue, was also forced into a sing-a-long.

28-year-old Fletcher joined the Ligue 1 side on transfer deadline day having also spoken to French team-mate Yann M'Villa after falling out of favour with manager Sam Allardyce at the Stadium of Light.

Fletcher, who has scored four goals for Sunderland this season, came off the bench to make his debut in Marseille's 2-1 defeat by Paris Saint Germain earlier this month and has since opened up his goal tally in the French Cup.
