Bobby Clark opens up on leaving Newcastle United and his father Lee's pride at Liverpool debut

Bobby Clark says his Liverpool debut gave famous dad Lee 'the best feeling' he's ever had after watching him step on to the pitch in the Premier League.

Clark has progressed under Jurgen Klopp and came on for his top-flight bow against Crystal Palace in the 9-0 win over AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League as well as the League Cup tie against Derby County.

The 17-year-old was asked by LFC TV about his famous dad's influence and said: "He tells me when I need telling – what I need to do to improve. When I'm doing well, he's there to tell me that as well. He was buzzing [with my debut] – he said it was the best feeling he's ever had."

And reflecting on his debut for the club, he said: "I came on when it was about 8-0, so no pressure! I think about it all the time really because it was a dream come true. For about five hours before the [Derby] game, I was just so excited. I couldn't wait to step out at Anfield.

"Obviously it was tough moving from my hometown at the start but I've settled in really well now. I came here and I've been given opportunities already, which I'm grateful for. Hopefully, I can carry on getting them."
