One is known for his fearless warrior heart, inner-strength in the face of adversity, and overcoming persecution. The other is a fictional character.
Liverpool fans haven’t experienced the best of seasons so far. There’s been metaphorical bloodshed as their side has been put to the sword on more than one occasion. But a new hero has emerged in the shape of former Burnley striker Danny Ings.
The 23-year-old forward has now netted two goals in as many games for the Anfield club, proving many early doubters wrong in the process with his intelligent movement and ceaseless energy.
But it’s his looks that have inspired a new nickname for the energetic marksman. Liverpool supporters have noticed an uncanny resemblance to a character in HBO’s Game of Thrones…
Does anyone else think Danny Ings looks like Tyrion Lannister in this picture? Made up he is scoring though… #LFC pic.twitter.com/KuKGBAasQR

What do you reckon? Does Ings bear more than a passing resemblance to award-winning actor Peter Dinklage? We think they make have a point…
