A Liverpool Football Club training ground worker stole portraits of former managers and pennants from key games, a court was told.
Gary Wilson, 40, of Briars Lane, Burscough, appeared at Liverpool Magistrates Court after pleading guilty to one count of theft by employee from Liverpool Football Club's former training ground at Melwood and their new complex in Kirkby between December 1, 2019, and March 17, 2023. Yvonne Dobson, prosecuting, said: “In December 2021, Liverpool Football Club were made aware of a website selling items belonging to Liverpool Football Club players.
“The football club began an investigation as these items were being sold without the permission of the club.” The court was told an enquiry was made to the website to buy a pair of boots that were allegedly worn by captain Jordan Henderson, and a video was sent back to them.
