Liverpool goalkeeper paid club fine in pennies…so loan club terminated his deal

What do you do when you get a fine from your new football club for being late?

a) Suck it up and pay them?

b) Say sorry and promise to buy a watch?

c) Act like a complete tit and get yourself fired?

Young Liverpool keeper Lawrence Vigouroux, who is on loan at Swindon Town, reportedly chose option C.

The 21-year-old turned up late for training and was fined £50 for his trouble.

But instead of just drawing a line under the affair and making amends, he apparently decided to pay the fine off in pennies.

Now we know your granddad always said coppers ‘all spend the same’, but paying your dues with 5,000 1p pieces is a pretty d*ckish thing to do.

Swindon happened to agree and terminated his year-long loan deal, sending him back to Anfield.
