A Liverpool fan has created consternation by purchasing the local off-licence’s entire stock to celebrate his team winning their 20th league title.
Bob Klopp (44) made the gargantuan purchase over the weekend before watching his beloved Reds spank Spurs 5-1 at a packed Anfield.
“He just came in, slapped his credit card on the counter and said he’d have the lot,” said the shocked off-licence manager. “He even bought that dodgy Moldovan prune liqeur that’s been on the bottom shelf for years.”
The off-licence has closed temporarily as they organise a restock, leading to complaints from many thirsty local punters.
“The lads know where I am,” said Klopp as he supped on a Pernod, Kahlua and Carlsberg cocktail. “If they want a drink they can call to my house to join in the celebrations.”
Klopp, who has taken the next two weeks off work, told DTTN that Arsenal and Man United fans were particularly welcome to join him for a tipple as long as they sat and watched his looping media diet of Liverpool goal highlights, interviews and general jubilation.
Disgruntled local drinkers are now faced with the dispiriting choice of enduring Klopp’s incessant gloating or topping up their mortgage to afford a round of pints.
