Kevin Spaine, who starred in a famous 1980s milk advert with the iconic line 'Accrington Stanley, who are they?', was convicted of murder after a brutal assault. Spaine, who had a history of crime and drug abuse, was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 18 years for the killing of Learoy Venner.

A boy synonymous with the famous ' Accrington Stanley , who are they' milk advert grew up to be a brutal murderer. Kevin Spaine was one of two boys who starred in the famous 1980s Milk Marketing Board advert that became an instant hit with Liverpool fans due to the mention of Reds star Ian Rush and the now retro LFC kits .

The criminal trial heard Mr Venner had been living at the Anfield flat temporarily at the time of the incident on July 27 2022, sleeping on a camp bed in the lounge. The flat was 'being used as a drug den' with Spaine among its frequent visitors. But Spaine was refused entry shortly after midday on the day in question, before being eventually let in by returning tenant Mark Kelly, who then left again to top up the electricity meter.
