A boy who starred in a milk advert in the 80s has been jailed for life after murdering a man in a brutal assault. Kevin Spaine, who said the line "Accrington Stanley, who are they?" in the ad as a child, was on Tuesday (February 22) found guilty of murder.
He repeatedly punched and kicked Learoy Venner at a flat on Belmont Drive in Anfield last summer. Spaine, 43, today returned to Liverpool Crown Court to be sentenced, where he was jailed for life with a minimum term of 18 years, reports the ECHO.
John Harrison KC, appearing on behalf of the killer, told the court during his sentencing that his client was formerly a "very promising young footballer" and even starred in the famous television ad for the Milk Marketing Board in 1989.
Spaine was one of two boys seen in the clip, clad in Liverpool FC kits.
