Sam Quek tweets customised excuses to get Liverpool fans out of work for final
Hockey player and presenter Sam Quek has been offering custom-written excuses to get Liverpool fans out of prior commitments ahead of the Champions League final against Tottenham.
Quek, who is a Liverpool fan, tweeted on the day of the game: “Reds, if you’re working during the match, but want to watch it & the boss won’t let you have time off…
“Let me know in the next 30mins & I’ll tweet some of you some blag story about how we know each other, or you won a competition or something to try & get you out of it”.

The offer prompted hundreds of replies, including from some people attending weddings during the game.
“I just woke up after terrible dream about you!” Quek replied to one fan. “You missed the CL final to go to a wedding & though a series of extraordinary events the marriage ended in catastrophic failure.
“Had you not gone, they would have lived happily ever after!”
Scott,
I just woke up after terrible dream about you! You missed the CL final to go to a wedding & though a series of extraordinary events the marriage ended in catastrophic failure. Had you not gone, they would have lived happily ever after! Do the right thing-Mystic Quek out.

Other made-up excuses included tickets to the game arriving late, food poisoning and a school reunion.
Taran! What’s happening brother 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Gazprom wrote to me last week saying they have boxed us some match tickets for the FINAL! – I’ve only just realised as the letter was in Russian! 🤦🏻♀️
You can still make it right?! May never get this chance again bruv!

Roberto! I’ve been sick all night. That fish we had yesterday 100% smelt funny. We shouldn’t have ate it, but it was that old, crying ladies family recipe after all. Read online it takes 24 hours to pass & unlike many food poisonings is highly contagious. Avoid human contact!!
