The Chase spells Liverpool FC legend's name wrong angering fans

Fans of The Chase were left unhappy after today's episode misspelt a Liverpool legend's name.

Carole, Keith, Molly and Charlie took on The Beast today in the hope of winning a huge cash prize.

Keith, 59, was up first and he set the team up for success scoring a solid £6,000.

Hoping to do just as well was Carole from Peterborough.

The 67-year-old managed a decent £5,000 in her cash builder.

But if she wanted to take it into the final, she'd have to defeat Mark Labbett in the head to head.

However, during the head to head, fans were alarmed by the misspelling of one question.

Host Bradley Walsh had asked: "Who was the manager of Liverpool FC when they won the European Cup for the first time?"

The options were A) Bill Shankly B) Joe Fagin or C) Bob Paisley.

But as many fans pointed out, option B was spelt wrong, with the correct spelling being 'Fagan' not 'Fagin' as displayed on The Chase.

Charlie tweeted: "Liverpool question on #TheChase there. Spelt Joe Fagan wrong though?"

Brian wrote: "It’s Joe FAGAN not Fagin btw."

And Craig said: "Fagan not Fagin!"

Fagan was a manager of Liverpool FC's reserves before becoming the first-team boss.

He worked as an assistant to Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley, before becoming manager in 1983.

His first season in charge saw his side win the League Cup, First Division and European Cup.
