Liverpool fans: How to recycle your soon-to-be useless Raheem Sterling shirts

Raheem Sterling looks set to force his way out of Liverpool this summer.

And if he does, Kopites will be left with thousands and thousands of useless shirts with his name on the back.

But, as always, the internet has come up with another ingenuous way of making sure this year's kit with 'Sterling 31' on the back don't get confined to the waste bin.

CLEVER CLOGS: The internet has thrown up a smart way to recycle an old Sterling shirt

We've seen it before. Arsenal fans have made the best of old Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas tops.

But now Liverpool supporters have hope that their old shirts can be reused - providing that two things happen.

Brendan Rodgers is interested in Burnley's Danny Ings and the striker looks nailed on to move to Anfield this summer.

If he joins (and takes the No.31 shirt!) Kopites can erase the t, e, r and l from their shirts while moving the s to the end of the remaining i, n and g to spell Ings.

Simple yet cost effective. Do we think it will catch on? Probably not.
