"So yous are footballers then?"

“So how long have yous been at this then, the footy?”

Put Simon Mignolet in the front seat of an annoying salt-of-the-earth taxi man’s car who knows nothing about football and the results are beautiful.

Liverpool set their own players up in a hilarious prank video in the spirit of April Fools’ Day.

It doesn’t take the goalkeeper long until he starts sounding a little fed up with the line of questioning whilst Lucas seems to be having a ball in the back of the cab, holding in his laughter at sheer disbelief of what is happening.

The Brazilian eventually prizes the driver into singing for him, his Tina Turner impression no less. But poor Mignolet is stuck at the front having to keep a straight face and put up with the nonsense.
