(Reuters) - Liverpool midfielder James Milner's sending off against Crystal Palace may well have rekindled schoolboy memories - it was his own former PE teacher who gave him his marching orders.

Referee John Moss, who showed Milner a second yellow card during Liverpool's 4-3 win over Palace on Saturday, taught the 33-year-old when he attended Westbrook Lane Primary School in Leeds, according to a picture doing the rounds on social media.
