Believe it or not, it’s that time of year when Liverpool FC releases their Christmas campaign, featuring the captain, Darwin Nunez, and the Royle family.
Christmas Day is less than six weeks away, and the club has brought some holiday cheer with their annual advert, featuring appearances by current and former players.
The advert showcases the iconic Royle family, played by on-screen duo Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnston, as nan and grandad to an excited young Red on Christmas Eve.
As she drifts off to sleep, we see Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson, Curtis Jones, Rachael Laws, and Gemma Bonner taking part in festive traditions, with Nunez causing mischief with mince pies!

One of the highlights is John Aldridge’s cameo, where he turns back the clock to 1988 with lyrics from the Anfield Rap, followed by a great rendition of “Alright Aldo, sound as a pound.”
But it’s Ricky’s response that steals the show, as he remarks, “not that sort of rapping, soft lad. Bloody hell!”
The advert has been well-received on social media, with Aldridge even sharing that he almost “pee[d] myself laughing” during his cameo:
