Reds fan gatecrashes the party

Who's that with Lee Dames?

A Liverpool fan gatecrashed the Champions League winners' photo shoot after borrowing an official tracksuit.

Nineteen-year-old Lee Dames spotted the outfit by the dugout and put it on while everyone else was distracted by the medal ceremony in Istanbul.

He then lined up alongside his heroes, who played along with the prank.

Dames, a semi-professional player with Unibond League outfit Burscough, said: "The players were nudging each other about me and thought it was funny."

He told the Liverpool Echo: "I just had to be with the team. I grabbed a tracksuit from the dugout. It was unbelievably brilliant.

"It was tremendous enough to win the cup, but to get involved like that was the icing on the cake."

Dames featured in several newspapers and has instructed his family to keep hold of them so he can see himself when he gets back from Turkey next week.

Dames' father, Paul, was watching the match in a Liverpool bar when he suddenly saw a familiar face.

"I spotted him and thought: 'That's not my son, is it?' I was flabbergasted," he said.

"I couldn't believe me eyes - he is a cheeky little b****r!"
