Andy Robertson is on his way to see his new mural near Anfield. It is a week of celebration of the man signed from relegated Hull who went on to become perhaps Liverpool’s greatest left-back. It isn’t Robertson’s way to seek out the spotlight, and he is happy to take second billing at his own farewell. But there has been an outpouring of appreciation nonetheless; from fans and teammates past and present alike.
The previous evening, he had opened a going-away present, courtesy of a man now in Madrid. “Last night's emotional part,” Robertson said. “Trent [Alexander-Arnold] got me a gift which nearly tipped me over the edge.” It was a picture of the pair, celebrating the 2019 Champions League triumph.
