Liverpool striker Sturridge proud of famous footballing family

Liverpool striker Danny Sturridge says coming from a football family has its advantages.

Sturridge has a host of relatives past and present who have been involved in football.

His father Michael was signed by Sir Alf Ramsey at Birmingham in 1978 while uncle Simon was on the books at Stoke.

The most well-known relative is his uncle Dean, who played for Derby for 10 years.

"Everyone still calls me Dean," Sturridge says before cackling with laughter.

"It's not a problem. I'm cool, I'm like: 'okay, I'm Dean then'."
