West Bromwich Albion defender Steven Reid has revealed that teammate Liam Ridgewell is a fan of Canadian popstar Justin Bieber.

Reid has claimed that the 28-year-old went to see the teen star on stage for one of his concerts in the UK, but he didn't take his children, which Reid expected.

"[Ridgewell] went to see Justin Bieber the other night!" Reid told the Daily Mail. "I'd like to offer up the fact that he went with his kids as an excuse, but he didn't. I think he went with George Thorne."

On-loan Marseille midfielder Joey Barton recently referred to Bieber as a "smack addict waiting to happen".
