Of all the things you expect to hear about Liverpool, one of their former players being the best Fantasy Football player in the world is not one of them.

The 54-year-old played 40 league games for Liverpool during a six-year spell at the club, which included loan spells to Norwich and Swindon, and currently works for BBC Radio Merseyside covering Liverpool matches.

He is clearly still very connected with the club and, based on his Fantasy team, he certainly knows his way around the Premier League at present!
