Lucas turns to pizza delivery
Our weekly round-up of the last seven days on Twitter and social media for Reds stars past and present features Lucas Leiva trying his hand at a different profession altogether…
He may be on loan in Spain with Almeria, but midfielder Suso was as excited as anyone else about the start of the Reds' Barclays Premier League season...
I can smell something different in the air. Something special like football is starting this weekend. Good luck LFC. You'll never walk alone
