UFC rising star Paddy Pimblett has defended Liverpool fans who booed the national anthem at the FA Cup Final, claiming people "know" the reason.
Jurgen Klopp's hugely-successful side completed their domestic cup double with victory over Chelsea in the 141st staging of the FA Cup Final yesterday, prevailing 6-5 on penalties after honours were even after extra time. The Reds' supporters at the west end of Wembley Stadium were heard loudly booing during the traditional anthems which have been part of the build-up to the showpiece event since 1927.
Prince William, Duke of Cambridge was also on the receiving end of jeers during both God Save The Queen and Abide with Me. And Pimblett has hit back at ex-footballer Curtis Woodhouse who criticised the reasoning behind the fans actions, tweeting: "The embarrassing thing is you know exactly why it gets done you are just coming on here to tweet about it for a reaction like a six year old kid, badly need to grow up you, you know fella."
