Liverpool Fan Bought A Wrecked £40 Car And Drove To Wembley With Jamie Carragher In The Back Seat

Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur to win Europe's most prestigious trophy for a sixth time and Simon is hoping history repeats itself.

You've always got to go bigger for the sequel though. The car is older, mouldier and London is closer than Madrid. How do you spice it up?

Enter Jamie Carragher. The Reds legend will be working on Sky Sports during the game and needed a way to get down to London.

Petrol money will be lower than that and the car being a long-term investment means it's the best value option.

"You drove to Madrid in this? Liverpool won that final so maybe that's one reason I should do this..." Carragher admitted.

The former England international begrudgingly played back seat driver and wanted some music on to liven the trip up.

"What year are we in? 2022? This radio looks like it's from 1922." A truer sentence has never been spoken and it was in that moment, Carragher knew he'd messed up.

He bailed on the journey at Liverpool Lime Street Station and left Simon and Ben with a message of "F**k this I'm out."

Simon and Ben did manage to make it down to London late on and will be hoping to see Liverpool lift silverware once again.

It'll be an uncomfortable trip back up to Merseyside if not.

Scratch that, it'll probably be an uncomfortable trip back up to
