Former Liverpool and Southampton striker Rickie Lambert is off to an auspicious start with new club West Bromwich Albion.
Lambert, a lifelong Liverpool fan who spent just one year with the club, was signed away by West Brom after a disappointing 2014-2015 season.
A few hours later, Lambert bagged a brace against Bristol Rovers (another former Lambert team) in 56 minutes of work with his new club, which led to great jokes on Twitter.
