Kiev/MadridCLOSE SHAVES
Several Reds have been enlisted to help
promote the club’s official grooming
supplier Nivea and their product ranges.
From commentator Clive Tyldesley
describing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
as being disappointed with “his poor
shaving performance” while Joe Gomez
and James Milner watched on, to Milly,
Gini Wijnaldum and Trent Alexander-
Arnold being
joined by boss
Jürgen Klopp
in a cameo role
to push the
firm’s sensitive
gel, the ads
have proven
particularly
popular with
Reds fans.90 MINUTES OF SHEER HELL
A classic from 1990 with Reds legend John Barnes
proclaiming that “after 90 minutes of sheer hell,
you’re going to get thirsty” before explaining
exactly what the word ‘isotonic’ means.
John capped the performance with a typically well-
placed left-footed clip into a metal bin, disposing
of the empty can with trademark aplomb.ACCRINGTON STANLEY?
An 80s classic from the Milk Marketing
Board featuring two young Liverpool fans
played by Carl Rice and Kevin Staine.
One tells the other that star Reds forward
Ian Rush would only have been good
enough to play for Accrington, then a non-
league club, if he didn’t drink milk.
“Accrington Stanley – who are they?” asks
his friend. The answer: “Exactly.”
Cricket favourite David Lloyd, a non-
executive director of Accrington, has said
that the advert helped make more than
£10,000 for the club. The ad was reprised for
Sport Relief
a few years
ago featuring
Rushie
himself
alongside
Robbie Fowler
and Steve
McManaman
as the kids.
