Chelsea star Billy Gilmour admits he wears Andy Robertson Liverpool shirt at home

Chelsea youngster Billy Gilmour says he wears Andy Robertson's Liverpool shirt when he's having a kick-about in the garden.

The 18-year-old, who has burst onto the scene this season, acquired the jersey following Chelsea's 2-0 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup.

Gilmour was named man of the match for his performance on the night, and swapped shirts with his compatriot Robertson after the game.

Most footballers store their match-worn shirts away, or display them in picture frames around their house.

But it seems Gilmour likes to do things a little differently, and according to the teenager himself, he sometimes wears Robertson's Liverpool shirt in the garden.

When asked to reveal the last rival jersey he wore, he told Chelsea's official website: "It was probably Andy Robertson's Liverpool shirt when I swapped with him after the recent FA Cup game.

"I wear that sometimes at the moment, just out in the garden playing football."

Gilmour may have a penchant for Robertson's Liverpool shirt, but he's a Chelsea fan through and through and has been from a very young age.

When asked to reveal the first football shirt he ever owned, he added: "It was a Chelsea strip when I was about five. I was a fan then because they had so many great players and were winning trophies."
