Liverpool’s Danny Ings proves he’s a great sport after ‘fans’ don’t recognise him

Awkward

Nooruddean Choudry

God bless Danny Ings.

The Liverpool striker is something of a favourite here at JOE towers, partly for his frankly heart-warming kind deeds, but also for his weird and wonderful videos. He may have suffered a serious injury this season but it has never affected his sunny disposition or good humour.

That was evident again this week after he very courteously agreed to pose for a snap with fans whilst dressed in full Liverpool regalia. Except the two ‘fans’ had no idea who he exactly was, and had to ask friends when they posted the image onto Facebook. The post read:

‘We’ve just had a pic with a famous footballer, anybody know who it is (we have no idea) X’

A mischievous supporter shared the awkward message with the man himself, who found his new found anonymity highly amusing. Perhaps they’ll recognise him next season when he’s fully fit and banging the goals in at Anfield again….
