A WAG complained about the raunchy Liverpool team party

Former Liverpool star Danny Murphy has revealed an X-rated party the squad had which one star let slip to his disgruntled wife about.

Midfielder-turned-pundit Murphy spent seven years at Anfield, during which time he won six trophies with the Reds. It wasn't all work and no play, however.

The 46-year-old and his team-mates once let their hair down, or what they had left of it (sorry Danny), with what he described as "adult entertainment". But it got back to one WAG, who made her feelings known to manager Gerard Houllier.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Murphy recalled: "I remember at Liverpool, we had a little party with all the new players in pre-season and we had some adult entertainment.

"One of the players' wives decided to phone the manager and tell him how disgusted she was that he'd put her husband in the situation. He alienated himself somewhat because the lads quickly went, ‘What are you doing?'

"He was an idiot anyway, he wasn't a popular boy. The same person's wife decided on a particular night out with partners to tell another Liverpool player that his defending had been atrocious and he needed to sort his off the field antics out, and I'm talking about a Liverpool legend as well."

Danny Murphy explained how the star who let slip alienated himself in the dressing room

Murphy's story comes after Belle Silva, the other half of Chelsea defender Thiago, appeared to suggest manager Mauricio Pochettino should be sacked on social media, something she later apologised for.

He reckons those comments will also cause issues in their dressing room similar to the impact at Liverpool. "I find it bizarre that you would get yourself in that situation," he argued.

"Where a wife, partner or girlfriend, mother, brother or whoever, starts tweeting about your career and the politics of the club and who should do what. It's beyond my comprehension because it wouldn't happen on my watch and if it did it would only happen once."
