VIDEO: You’ll never guess what the Liverpool players got Martin Skrtel for his birthday

Clue: It's not Man-Marking for Dummies (though it probably should have been)

SportsJOE

What do you get the central defender who has everything?

It hasn’t been the easiest of seasons for Liverpool as the absence of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, coupled with an often shambolic defence, meant that last season’s second place finish is a distant memory.

At times their ailing campaign has been riddled with rumours of dressing room unrest.

So it was nice to see the squad (including manager Brendan Rodgers) head out on the town for Martin Skrtel’s 30th birthday at Secret nightclub. That’s right, all that money and you still end up in a place called Secret nightclub.

The players even chipped in for a present for the Slovakian defender.

No, not a guide on how to man mark at a set-piece without turning into a WWE wrestler – but a smart silver watch.

Skrtel’s response, delivered straight to official cameraman (and occasional left-back) Jose Enrique is actually pretty good.
