Former Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler told me recently of a little game they used to play at Anfield in his playing days there.
While in the tunnel before going out onto the pitch, someone in the starting XI would be handed a small coin that could be clenched in the palm of your hand.
Stipulations
This coin had to be passed onto another player during the course of the game.
The only stipulations were that it had to be the team-mate nearest to you and the receiving player could not refuse the coin. A mere tap on the arm would suffice.
What was the object of all this?
Well, whoever was left holding the coin when the final whistle blew had to buy all the lads drinks that night!
What entailed was a frantic flurry of movement among the players during injury time so as to get rid of the coin. Brilliant!
Now at this point, you are probably thinking what I am thinking and the answer is: I really don't know!
The question?
Was the goalkeeper in on it as well?
I lulz'd at this news clipping
