Stewart Downing pictured with Liverpool scarf: True or Fake?

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing has been apparently pictured holding a Liverpool scarf in a bar - although the image has been denied as a fake by Villa officials.

The picture circulated on Twitter on Tuesday morning and appeared to show the 27-year-old holding the scarf with Reds' striker Andy Carroll and a fan.

Its appearance was all the more provocative as rumours persist of the Mersyside club's interest in the England international, whose future at Villa remains uncertain.

But within hours club officials had contacted the winger, currently on holiday, to confirm it was fake.

Villa spokesman Brian Doogan told the Birmingham Mail: "I've seen the picture and I spoke to him, he had heard about it, someone else had told him.

"He said it was absolutely not real, he did not stand there with a Liverpool scarf."

Paul Ince infamously posed in a Manchester United shirt in 1989 before joining the Red Devils from West Ham and many Hammers fans never forgave him.
