James Milner almost landed Liverpool youngster with club fine after brilliant phone prank

A young Liverpool player almost fell foul of Liverpool's strict player fines policy after leaving his mobile phone on the team bus.

Club veteran James Milner has been talking to the club's official website about his successful time at Anfield and his responsibility as 'chairman of the fines committee'.

The Yorkshireman, who is widely credited with setting high standards for the Reds both on and off the pitch, revealed how senior group new-comer Stefan Bajcetic was stitched up by teammate Nat Phillips after leaving his mobile phone on the team bus.
