    Saturday lunchtime\u2019s Wolves vs Tottenham Hotspur clash saw player bodycams feature for the first time in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

    Spurs\u2019 Brennan Johnson and Wolves defender Max Kilman became the first players to wear the new technology during their warm-up, giving fans the first ever chance to look first hand a Premier League player's preparation.<\/p>\n

    IFAB laws prohibit the use of the cameras in competitive matches, but TNT Sports struck a deal with the Premier League to use the technology and introduced the bodycams for their debut \u2013 offering the viewer a completely new perspective into footballers\u2019 preparations.<\/p>\n

    Clips of Johnson cam showed the Wales international warming up alongside his Spurs team-mates, completing passing drills, interacting with team-mates and taking instructions from their coaches before heading back into the tunnel.<\/p>\n

    However, discussions amongst the TNT pundits left split feelings regarding the use of the new technology. Former Manchester City defender Jolean Lescott admitted that while it\u2019s a great addition for fans, it\u2019s not something he would have liked to have worn as a player.<\/p>\n

    He said: \u201cIt just gives a new generation of fans an insight into how warm-ups work. I wouldn't have worn that it would have been a distraction for me,' the ex-player added. Not necessarily in training but I wouldn't have worn them in games. Maybe it's superstition – I got injured twice when I had one on – so I would have said \u2018no way.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    But Joe Cole was more enthusiastic about the trial and suggested some of the Premier League\u2019s great characters could even use the technology to mess with viewers, saying: \u201cI would be tempted to put chewing gum on it just to mess with someone!' Cole said. 'But it's great insight – it's like the eyes of the player warming up. It's fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
