UEFA Champions League,Barclay's Premier League

Stephen Warnock was included in Liverpool's squad for the 2005 Champions League final against AC Milan but was then told it was a mistake, one which cost him a six-figure payday

An ex-Liverpool player was left gutted and £200k out of pocket after a Champions League final squad blunder.

READ MORE: I signed for Liverpool four months before Jurgen Klopp joined – this is what the mood was likeWarnock recalled a mix of joy and shock as he reacted "f***ing hell" upon seeing his name listed among the 18 players. However, the elation was short-lived when then-manager Rafa Benitez reversed the decision just hours later.

"It was one of the biggest games of football's year but our bonus was massive either way. It was £100k to lose it and £200k to win it, and I was thinking f***ing hell, that's a massive amount of money, because I weren't on that much money at the time.
