Liverpool's Premier League and Champions League winning manager and a star of some of TV’s best loved shows are to be given the freedom of Liverpool.
When it meets in an extraordinary session next week, Liverpool City Council is recommended to award honorary Freedom of the City status to Jurgen Klopp and Sue Johnston. In being awarded the highest civil honour the city can offer, Mr Klopp will join Liverpool legends such as Steven Gerrard and Kenny Dalglish.
Ms Johnston, who appeared in Brookside during the 1980s, will join the show’s creator Phil Redmond on the roll of honour at Liverpool Town Hall. Next Wednesday, councillors will be asked to endorse the findings of the freedom panel in conferring the awards on both for their contribution for the city.
