Liam, 25, from Norwich, Norfolk finds it "funny" that he is always mistaken for Manchester City ace Jack Grealish and says he likes "playing along".
Since England's run to the final of Euro 2020, he has found himself bombarded with adoring fans who think he is the Premier League playmaker.
He said: "I've always had my hair similar to how Jack has his hair.
"People started to mistake us when he became more well known the football world.
