Jordan Lussey was dubbed the next Steven Gerrard, trained with Luis Suarez and is now loving life with Marine. While the 28-year-old hopes he can return to elite level, he is looking to inspire the next generation offering football camps to youngsters this month.
He spent 12 years in the ranks at Kirkby and although he never made a professional appearance for the Reds, he has trained alongside the likes of Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Suarez. Now 28, he has enjoyed spells at Southport FC, Telford United, AFC Fylde, Curzon Ashton and now turns out for Marine AFC in the Northern Premier League.
With caps for the England U18s as well as having the armband for Liverpool’s U18s, Lussey was likened to the iconic Reds skipper by Frank McParland in a meeting with the former Academy manager.
