When Matt Beard returned to Liverpool last summer, the last thing he would have expected to end the season would be partying with world-renowned DJ Calvin Harris.
But that is just what the legendary Liverpool Women’s manager did after he guided the Reds to the Championship title. Beard’s side joined Jurgen Klopp’s team on their parade of the city after the mens' cup double last season in what was a superb and uplifting day for the Anfield faithful. Harris was the resident DJ on the parade and later described it as 'the most unreal experience of my life'.
This was the least Beard’s side deserved after a spectacular campaign which culminated in a return to the Women’s Super League after a two-year absence when they were relegated on a points per game basis during the Covid-impacted 2019/20 season.
