Conor Bradley has been a revelation this season, putting in excellent displays this winter during Trent Alexander-Arnold's injury absence.
The Northern Irishman could have been plying his trade at Man United or Chelsea right now though.
The right-back told the Belfast Telegraph in 2019: "I was training with the Liverpool Academy in Belfast, and they brought me over for a trial.
"I didn't do very well at first, but then I went to Germany on a tour in April 2016, and I was named Players' Player of the Tour. That was really the start of it all for me.
"I played a game for Northern Ireland in Newry, and after that, I had Chelsea and Manchester United looking at me as well.
"I went to United and Southampton on trial, but we picked Liverpool. It wasn't just because I support them; it was because they're a real family club, and that's something we all really appreciate.
"They're also keen on the education side of it, which is very important to me."
