Patrice Evra Reveals Details of Horrific Practical Joke War With Barcelona Star Gerard Piqué

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has revealed that he was embroiled in a prank war with Gerard Piqué during the pair's time at Old Trafford, which culminated in the Frenchman defecating in the Spaniard's shoes.

The pair were teammates in Manchester between 2006 and 2008, when Piqué once set Evra's custom-made Nike trainers on fire as a joke. Unfortunately for Piqué, Evra did not find the joke funny.

The Frenchman recounted the story on Sky One show 'A League of Their Own'.

He told the panel: “They burned my trainers. It wasn’t funny and actually it was Gerard Piqué.
