James Milner's Reply To A Fan Asking For His Shorts Is The Greatest Tweet Of 2019

The Liverpool No.7 struck gold on social media...

James Milner is famous for his ability to play anywhere on the pitch, running two marathons in one game and being parodied as a boring footballer on Twitter.

But since joining social media last year, he's breaking that personality assumption tweet-by-tweet.

One plucky fan politely asked the Liverpool number 7 about a pair of under-shorts and where he could purchase some for his friend.


Unsurprisingly, Milner was probably busy with a small matter of a crucial Premier League fixture with Leicester.

But Lee - known as @Arsleenal - wasn't happy with this star's apparent ignorance and channelled his inner Marshall Mathers with this 'Stan' inspired tweet.


Milner responded brilliantly.


Can the real James Milner please stand-up.

It's probably first time the defender-midfielder-and-anywhere-else player was 'mistaken' for former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

At least those shorts will probably be on sale somewhere. I'm sure Bootle does a decent car boot sale. Let's hope Lee finds a pair for his mate soon.

This was a decent wind-up from this Twitter user, but still: what's your favourite football player mix-up? Let us know in the comments.
