Liverpool fan paints face as part of Shankly statue costume

False idol...

Tom Victor

From King Kenny to Robbie Fowler, every Liverpool fan has their own personal favourite.

However what if your idol isn’t a player? You can’t get a personalised shirt, and donning a suit and tie or a tracksuit to emulate your favourite Reds manager might not be obvious enough.

Thankfully, as Brendan Rodgers and his players arrived in Thailand for their pre-season tour, one supporter clearly found a solution.

Few would doubt Bill Shankly’s status among the Anfield faithful, and the statue of the former boss is testament to that.

Whether that justifies this fan’s effort, however, is another matter altogether.
