TRANMERE manager Nigel Adkins went viral after trying to share words of wisdom by quoting Kung Fu Panda.
Adkins, 59, currently coaches in League Two after years working in the Premier League for Southampton and Reading.

“The past is history, the future is a mystery! Today’s a gift, that’s why they call it the present.”
However, Adkins’ post-match comments were extremely similar with some notable lines from Kung Fu Panda 2.
The ex-Hull boss sounded like Grand Master Oogway when he tried to comfort key character Po in the popular movie’s sequel.
Oogway told Jack Black’s character: “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present!”
