Fans love 2012 Robertson tweet that he had ‘no money’ and life was ‘rubbish’ before winning the Champions League seven years later

ANDREW ROBERTSON’S rise to the top is football’s latest rags-to-riches story – as his tweet from 2012 perfectly shows.

Aged 18, the Scot complained about lack of money and his desperate attempts to find a job.

Fast forward seven years and Kop favourite Robertson, 25, lifts the most coveted club football trophy in the world after beating Tottenham 2-0 in the Champions League final.

The Scottish defender’s life has indeed taken a 180 degrees turn so he might well have forgotten about his social media activity from years back.

While coming through the youth ranks at Queen’s Park, he tweeted in 2012: “Life at this age is rubbish with no money #needajob.”

But the Internet never forgets – and the post has now been retweeted 20,000 times and has gained 34,000 likes.

Overjoyed Liverpool fans, having dug up the old tweet, flooded Robertson’s Twitter account with heart-warming responses.

One wrote: “How’s life now, fella?” alongside a trophy emoji.

While another added: “Well it got better.”

And a third wrote: “That worked out no bad Andy.”

Robertson moved to Dundee United a year after signing his first professional contract with Queen’s in 2012.

And 12 months later, he moved to Hull City before signing for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in 2017.

Since arriving at Anfield, Robertson has established himself as one of the Premier League’s left-backs – and has just become the Champions League winner.

Although his beginnings on Merseyside were difficult, sometimes ugly, as he revealed ahead of the Madrid final.

Robertson said he was left “puking his guts up” following his Liverpool medical.

He played in 48 games for the Reds this season, grabbing an astonishing 13 assists.
