McParland: Kenny Keen On Youngsters

Liverpool academy chief John McParland says manager Kenny Dalglish remains interested in the youth system.

In his column for liverpoolfc.tv, McParland explained that Dalglish attended some youth matches just 24 hours after the first team had lost to Stoke in the Premier League:

“A couple of weeks ago, Kenny Dalglish was down here to watch some of the younger teams in action. That was the day after the first-team’s unfortunate 1-0 loss at Stoke. It was fantastic to see him there as he could have decided to give it a miss after the frustrations at the Britannia.”

“But the boss still loves coming to the Academy and having him visit from time to time gives us all a big lift.

“We also had Ian Rush here last Monday. He ran an indoor session with the U15 and U16 strikers and gave them tips on how to improve their finishing. It’s not bad being able to call upon the club’s record goalscorer in all competitions, is it?”
