Jay Spearing

Jay Spearing was captain of Liverpool's u-18 team which won the second of their successive FA Youth Cups in 2007 and also a key player in the side that won the FA Premier Reserve League title in 2007/08. Spearing finally made his long-awaited debut for Liverpool's first team in the Champions League group match away to PSV Eindhoven 9 December 2008.

Kop Quote

Rafa on Momo in September 2006

Momo was one of the most important players for us last season and I was really surprised that he didn't even get a mention the Young Player awards. I can't think of many better.

He is a young player who every manager in the Premiership would want in his squad, and I would have thought that would have made him a contender. His running is incredible. He is an athlete, almost like a Kenyan middle-distance runner, and even though people don't seem to talk about him, he is very important to this team. He is not the finished article, but he is such a good worker. You tell him he needs to improve something and he is practise, practise, practise every day."

The habits that turn Liverpool moments into Liverpool history

31 December 2025

Liverpool’s story is often told through the huge landmarks, the finals, the title runs, the European nights. Yet the club’s history is really carried by patterns that repeat week after week. A team’s identity shows up in how it reacts to a bad ten minutes, how it protects a lead when legs are heavy, how it stays brave enough to play when the crowd is nervous. Over time those patterns become memories, then memories become history.

Liverpool’s World-Class Midfielders: A History of Creativity and Control

29 December 2025

The most important part of any successful team is the midfield. It is the space where games are won and lost, and the teams that win the most have the best balance between discipline and creativity.

Semenyo Back On Liverpool's Radar According To Recent Reports

19 December 2025
