A diehard Manchester United fan working on the new stand at Liverpool's Anfield Stadium took the perfectopportunity to taunt rival fans by leaving Red Devil memorabilia in the roof.
Theanonymous Red Devilssupporter speaking toThe Sunsaid of the prank:"It's all just a bit of good-natured banter. There's a lot of nasty things that get said between the two sets of supporters, but I'm not about that.
"The lads I worked with were great, but every time they tested the public address system, I had to listen to You'll Never Walk Alone.
"I thought I'd leave my own mark on the stadium and remind them who was the best.
"There were quite strict rules about football colours being worn by people working on the stadium, but one day I wore mine under my hi-vis and sneaked it up.

As well as this, he found the perfect opportunity to sneak in a couple of bobblehead figurines of Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand into the stadium.
"I had little Giggsy and Rio collectables from a few years ago and they both scored at Anfield in the past so I thought it would be nice to give them a good view of the pitch."

Speaking of the rivalry, the worker added:"I was working on the gable end nearest to the Kop, so the thought of the shirt and the two figures overlooking it makes me smile.
"I was born in 1974, the first year United were ever relegated, and where I went to school I was one of only two United fans.
"So this is a little bit of payback I suppose for getting the mick taken out of me when I was younger and United weren't very good. It's just a bit of craic.
"The funny thing is, the very first song they played over the speakers to test them was Roll With It by Oasis, a Manchester band full of City fans.
"It was pretty surreal being 100ft high in your rivals' stadium. Everyone was aware I was a United fan and it was never an issue."
67 - Liverpool have lost more PL matches (27) and also the most league matches (67) against Man Utd than versus any other opponent. Habit.
