Chaliaw Mantong, the farm owner, has been a loyal fan of Liverpool F.C. fan for well over 30 years.
It seemed like Christmas came early for Mr Mantong and many Red’s fans around the world when Liverpool F.C. won the Premier League title on 25th June 2020.

To celebrate the historic victory, Mr Mantong put the team’s liver bird and the 19th Premier Lounge cup on his big rice field.
He did so by growing different strains of rice that produce a different shade of green.
Not the first time

Being a die-hard Liverpool F.C. fan, this is not the first time Mr Mantong had transformed his paddy fields into a tribute to his beloved football club.
In March 2020, he created the football club’s iconic liver bird on his rice fields and it even made headlines on ESPNFC’s Facebook page.

The last time Liverpool F.C. won the Premier League was in 1990, which was exactly 30 years ago.
The team now has a total of 19 Premier League cups, making them 1 trophy away from Manchester United F.C. who currently holds the top spot with 20 wins.
We’re also happy for Mr Mantong and all the fans out there!
