Forget Kenny, moggy Sam is Anfield top cat

A cat which ran on to the pitch during Liverpool’s Premier League home game against Tottenham Hotspur has attracted almost 40,000 followers on Twitter.

The grey and white tabby wandered across the turf before being scooped up by a steward.

Within minutes the cat, above, was an internet sensation with at least three spoof Twitter accounts claiming to be the Premier League’s new star.
