THREE FORMER LIVERPOOL players have returned to the club to take up coaching roles at Kirkby Academy.
Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman and Rob Jones – who all became iconic players for the Reds during the 1990s – will help train and mentor youth teams after agreeing to come on board.
“The trio, who between them boast 973 Liverpool appearances, will assist coaches Alex Inglethorpe and Neil Critchley in providing specialist sessions in their respective areas of expertise,” reads Liverpool’s website.
First team manager Brendan Rodgers, whose side sit second in the Premier League after an encouraging start to the season, was delighted with the news and stressed the importance of having ex-players around the club.
“I said at the end of last season that I wanted to get more former players involved and over the off-season I spoke to a number of them about a possible role here.
For me it’s so important to have players like that around. These are players who the young guys look up to.”
Jones while a great player never got to live up to his potential due to injury, Macca pissed off on a bosman, and i suppose Niall is right inthat he is more of a Real legend. God however is a legend, hat trick in 4m 33s, 5 goals on debut, countless mesmerising goals, that nose band, that coke celebration, thay celebration in front of Le Saux, and a scouse accent so thick that it was impossible to understand him in interviews.
Another post filled with united fans.What a surprise! Funny how most of you were nowhere to be seen last weekend.Probably off crying in a cold damp corner wishing fergie ferg was back in charge.Keep it up lads.See what yez have to say when you get beat again tonight
Were they? How did they do? Don’t suppose they won it did they? Na didn’t think so.I would say come back when you’ve won it 5 times but that’s pointless seen as United will never win it again.
United fan one minute, they have a brutal start, jump ship to Madrid hahaha typical! Don’t mind her William, she’s not worth responding to, she’ll be back in the looney bin soon!!
Ah will u be quiet! Conversation was all about united and Liverpool and 5 times, next thing u comment ur a Madrid fan and on about 9 times??? Ur fooling no one, think all the red thumbs says it all. Embarrassing yourself not for the first time.
Here Niall where were ya again at the weekend? You cannot handle the banter mate!! Easy to come on talkin muck except when Utd loose eh? Which incidentally seems to be a lot of late.
Ah fair play Pablo are you going to give Niall some pointers how to deal with losing ? You being used to that of course for years and having experience in dealing with it…and people say you not a good’n ….
Even Fergie knows the game is up in that interview in the US yesterday. Top quality facilities, good domestic history, plenty of money, average European history, sh!te manager, mid table team.
Jrbmc- absolutely love winding youself, Wilson and the other ‘cockbiscuit? (must be a word he learned in tge George) up. It’s far too easy brother, far too easy..
Pablo, how do you know what they learn in the George. Are you a secret friend of Dorothy??? Not that it matters, your sexuality is your business sailor :-)
I was really enjoying getting into the swing of this app and especially the good discussion and light hearted banter over certain topics, until today,and this thread in particular.
Quick refresher lads: The red thumb and green thumb are there for a reason and maybe use the reply option when you have a valid point..now please read over the last few comments and learn from your errors. Good boys.

Bell-ends more than legends! :D Great players though, can only bring good experience to the LFC setup. Must be following United in bringing back legends to the club to coach the youths.
How could a man who celebrated a goal by getting down on all fours like a dog and sniffing the white line at the penalty box be described as a legend?? Promoting the use of cocaine. Millions of kids watching on TV asking their Dads whats that all about. Another PR blunder by the LFC public relations department.
Robbie Fowler is a Liverpool legend. Macca is nobody’s legend and Jones never got close. In terms of coaching, at least Macca has played in Spain and experienced different coaching methods whereas I doubt Fowler was much for training at any time in his career.

Jones while a great player never got to live up to his potential due to injury, Macca pissed off on a bosman, and i suppose Niall is right inthat he is more of a Real legend. God however is a legend, hat trick in 4m 33s, 5 goals on debut, countless mesmerising goals, that nose band, that coke celebration, thay celebration in front of Le Saux, and a scouse accent so thick that it was impossible to understand him in interviews.
Macca had a decent career in Real.
Actually Niall, McManaman has 2 league medals from his time in Spain.
So he is a Real Madrid legend then not a Liverpool legend as mentioned in the article !
Another post filled with united fans.What a surprise! Funny how most of you were nowhere to be seen last weekend.Probably off crying in a cold damp corner wishing fergie ferg was back in charge.Keep it up lads.See what yez have to say when you get beat again tonight
Least United are in Europe William…
Were they? How did they do? Don’t suppose they won it did they? Na didn’t think so.I would say come back when you’ve won it 5 times but that’s pointless seen as United will never win it again.
We won it 9 times William, I am a Madrid fan, so maybe come back when LFC have won it 9 times..
Your a bit bitter aren’t you?
Well then., .,isn’t my face red
United fan one minute, they have a brutal start, jump ship to Madrid hahaha typical! Don’t mind her William, she’s not worth responding to, she’ll be back in the looney bin soon!!
lol good girl James, so you can’t support 2 teams in differnt leagues then….
Ah will u be quiet! Conversation was all about united and Liverpool and 5 times, next thing u comment ur a Madrid fan and on about 9 times??? Ur fooling no one, think all the red thumbs says it all. Embarrassing yourself not for the first time.
There’s a lot of so called legends out there who’ve never won anything major.
Name one Sean ?
Shay given
Rush, Dalglish and Hanson, now they are legends. The three mentioned in this article aren’t fit to lace their boots.
And the rugby world called Brian o Driscoll a legend long before he won any 6 nations or Heineken cup
Kevin Moran and Paul McGrath………
Legends???? You’re having a laugh, not a league medal between them :-)
The only thing they will teach the youth team is that next year will be our year
Ohhh temper temper !!! Steo is he getting to you ha ha
Here Niall where were ya again at the weekend? You cannot handle the banter mate!! Easy to come on talkin muck except when Utd loose eh? Which incidentally seems to be a lot of late.
Ah fair play Pablo are you going to give Niall some pointers how to deal with losing ? You being used to that of course for years and having experience in dealing with it…and people say you not a good’n ….
Even Fergie knows the game is up in that interview in the US yesterday. Top quality facilities, good domestic history, plenty of money, average European history, sh!te manager, mid table team.
Ah ye’re just annoyed because city are above ye.
Hull city that is
Wilson (Ball gobbler) where’s barrywhite?? On the missing list is he?
Pablo your comments are about as much use as a Liverpool players passport :-)
I believe Steve McManaman has 2 league medals and 2 champions league medals…………And sure didnt Robbie win the Thai premier league? ;o)
Always good for a laugh Pablo the loser is….
Tom is says Liverpool legends !!!! Not ex Liverpool legends
Jrbmc- absolutely love winding youself, Wilson and the other ‘cockbiscuit? (must be a word he learned in tge George) up. It’s far too easy brother, far too easy..
Pablo, how do you know what they learn in the George. Are you a secret friend of Dorothy??? Not that it matters, your sexuality is your business sailor :-)
Must be tuorettes so
Will they have english translators to help the non local youths grasp what they are saying to them?

Would you consider Cantona a legend? Roy Keane maybe? Best? Exceptional players. Hardly great role models either though.
They didn’t promote the use of illicit highly addictive class A drugs Stephen, in front of millions of youngsters who like to copy their idols…..
Robbie Fowler is a Liverpool legend. Macca is nobody’s legend and Jones never got close. In terms of coaching, at least Macca has played in Spain and experienced different coaching methods whereas I doubt Fowler was much for training at any time in his career.
