The wife of Liverpool owner John W Henry has clashed with one Reds fan on Twitter.

The Liverpool Echo says Linda Pizzuti Henry was unhappy with one tweet from a persistent Liverpool fan.

A message sent from the account Moneyball FC (@JOZ9T9) read: “Serious question Linda. Why does John leave you wide open for abuse on Twitter?"

Pizzuti Henry (@Linda_Pizzuti) responded with: “You are the most persistent abuser, why do you do it?

“I have supported LFC for years. Should I not use twitter bc 'fans' like you harass me?"

Many supporters waded into the discussion to defend Pizzuti Henry.

Mark Sutherland tweeted: “There's supporting your team and then there's abuse, tweeting the owner's wife is unacceptable."

William Gardner added: “Carry on tweeting Linda, most fans here in Liverpool like your feedback. The more contact between the fans and owners the better."
