A 77-year-old Reds fan’s family birthday celebrations were spoilt after an “offensive” sticker was found on his Liverpool FC cake.

Debbie bought a Liverpool cake for her father-in-law Tony from Asda in Arrowe Park - but the pensioner was shocked when he saw the box had been defaced.

Someone had stuck an Everton sticker which said “Kopites are gobs***es” on the cake box, which Debbie didn’t notice until she got it home.

Debbie said: “My father was delighted with the cake until he discovered that someone had stuck an offensive sticker on the side.

“I am upset and embarrassed that I gave this to him. It is a disgrace it was sold like this!”

Debbie described her father-in-law as a real gentleman and said he “took great offence” at the sticker.

She added: “Tony seemed to enjoy his birthday but will not eat the cake.

"It’s still in the box.

"He won’t open it out of his loyalty to LFC.”

Asda’s customer service team have apologised for the incident and said they have emailed the Arrowe Park store manager to look into the matter further.
