An LFC fan was left red-faced after getting a Jurgen Klopp question wrong on Beat The Chasers.
Paul from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland had high hopes when taking on the Chasers in the ITV1 quiz.
He had been doing well until he was asked how Liverpool manager Klopp had learnt to speak English.

Host Bradley Walsh asked: "Football manager Jurgen Klopp claimed to have learned English by watching what sitcom?
"A. Friends, B. Only Fools and Horses or C. 'Allo 'Allo!"
Paul said he dreaded showing his face back home if he got it wrong but chose "B. Only Fools and Horses".
Bradley said: "Really?" Then added: "I think this could be quite a tough question."
The answer was "A. Friends' and chaser Darragh Ennis said: "I am a big Liverpool fan as well and I remember the interview.
"Also Friends would have been the only one that would have been shown in Germany."
In an interview with BBC 5 Live Sport in 2019, Klopp was asked how he learnt to speak English, he said: "Friends. Watching Friends.
"Because it is easy to understand. You try to watch it... You have different levels when you learn a foreign language, obviously.
"So in the first moment, I understand people that speak to me as a foreigner.
"So, it means they know I'm not a native and speak like: [imitating a very slow and pronounced speech] "Hello, Mr Klopp".
"So that's how it starts and it's like nice.
"And then you realise in the moment that they forget that you're a foreigner and then they start speaking much more quickly and then it's like 'wow!'
"Sometimes then you get it more and more. So that's why I listen to a lot of radio, obviously, by the way, a lot of radio.
"And then you try to watch movies, because that's the next thing, because in movies they speak in a dialect, stuff like that and it's not really well pronounced.
"It's like trash talk and all that stuff and you have to follow.
"The easiest to follow for Germans in English is Friends. It's an easy conversation you can pretty much understand each word pretty early, so that's why we use that."
Asked what character he would be out of the three boys he admitted he liked the girls better than the boys but conceded he can not play a girl.
He eventually settled on Joey, but added: "Unfortunately, I'm maybe a bit smarter than the Joey role. My talk with girls was never that good as his. How you doin'? - It didn't work."
Disappointed in his performance Paul was unable to beat the Chasers and left with nothing.
