The Mercury
|April 29, 2025
SIYA Kolisi enjoyed a happy weekend of sporting success. On Saturday night, he led his team to victory over Ulster in Belfast, and on Sunday, he watched in the stands at Anfield as his beloved Liverpool secured the English Premiership title.
Kolisi was a fan for the day, and after Liverpool crushed Spurs 5-1, he joined thousands of fans in the streets singing "Now you gonna believe us, we're going to win the league.
In a video posted on X, Kolisi, wearing a red T-shirt, lights a red smoke candle while singing lustily.
Famously, the Springbok captain was a guest of former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp at a 2022 match at Anfield, but on Sunday, he was among the red masses in the stands and looked like he was having the time of his life.
