Liverpool fan mistakes Santa pyjamas for replica shirt
The Liverpool fanatic took to social media to explain that when packing his suitcase for the trip to Roma he made on fatal error, picking up a pair of Santa Claus-themed pyjamas his mum bought him for his birthday instead of his Liverpool strip.
However, not to be peturbed by the mix-up, Thompson donned the PJs regardless, tweeting a photo of himself at the Stadio Olimpico decked out in his festive finery.
Despite Liverpool progressing to the final, Ste insists that he won't be dusting off the get-up for another outing in Kiev as he doesn't want to see his side lose 4-2 again.
Fortunately, New Balance, sponsors of Liverpool, caught wind of the incident and promised to kit Thompson out for the final.
