Mike Myers was at Anfield to watch Liverpool take on Fulham [PA]
The Canadian actor, best known for his roles in the Austin Powers and Wayne's World films, was invited to watch Liverpool take on the Cottagers from the directors box.

And the 50-year-old fulfilled a long-held dream to attend a match after revealing his home growing up was "a shrine to Liverpool".

Speaking to the BBC, Myers said: "I'm so thrilled to be here, I cannot even believe it. I'm normally really chatty but I'm speechless right now.

"I was born in Canada in '63 and my parents came to Toronto in '56, and there's no-one more English than an Englishman not living in England.

"Our house was a shrine to Liverpool. I love the people here and I really do think it's my home.

"I did not sleep last night - I cannot believe it. I'm so jazzed to be here. I can't even talk, I can't look at the soccer players in the face.

"I'm even starstruck by Anfield, the pitch. I didn't even want to look at it - I was a little afraid.

"I think Liverpool have every chance of getting into that top four this year.

"When Sturridge and Suarez get the ball you just don't know what's going to happen. It's old-school Liverpool, getting the ball and distributing it upfield.

"My only heartbreak I have is my Dad would have loved this team because of its creativity. But he's up there, enjoying it all."

jazzed 😵

Ah come on, that kind of enthusiasm is welcome in whatever words a person chooses to express it.

Now all we need is Linda coming to games again and top 4's in the bag.

jazzed 😵

That would get him banned from RAWK and severely censured on YNWA.

He's my best mate's second cousin.

We didnt believe him until his nan (whose surname is myers) visited & showed us pictures of her with him years back. Then we felt like dicks.

Mike Myers dad lived in Old Swan & was (assuming still is) a reds fan, so he's not talking bollocks about the family connection.

I hope Mike Myers's dad isn't still a reds fans, as he was thrown into the Mersey a few years ago. I like Mike, but he looks as though he hasn't been doing much except eat crisps since the last Austin Powers.

He was?!

I knew someone had died on that side of the family but hadn't realised it was him.

Yeah, Mike is happy getting fat it seems!

Mike Myers is the Hollywood equivalent of Luis Suarez. Highly talented, but an absolute nutcase.

As opposed to the rest of them?!

They're all nutcases. Fuck me, Tom Cruise will admit to believing in little green men & worshipping them, but not taking it up the shitpipe.

Mike is fine. He gave us this text book guide as to how to deal with wums:

Fair point FF. I never thought Tom Cruise was particularly talented though.
