Steven Gerrard’s tears in the aftermath of Liverpool’s 3-2 win over title rivals Manchester City got us wondering how many football crying puns we could come up with – and sadness puns aren’t allowed, just crying.
Sounds challenging, right? Well, after brainstorming a few ourselves we put it to our Facebook followers, and as ever they came up with the goods.
Here we are, then – football crying puns, in honour of Steven Gerrard…
