"A month or so ago, Gary McAllister and I were talking about young goalkeepers and he spoke to me of a tall guy at Coventry who was only 19 and who was very good.
At the time, Magnus Hedman was in goal for them, but I remember realising as soon as Kirkland came into the side that he was the person Macca had been talking about.
Kirkland made some incredible saves against us. For someone so young, who’d only made his debut a few weeks earlier, I thought he was magnificent. Maybe the adrenalin is still flowing fast through his body, which is helping him play so well, but from what I’ve seen of him he must have a big future."
The 2026 World Cup is well under way across North America, and Liverpool have a strong contingent representing their nations.
Welcome to Anfield, a historic district in the northwest of England, located in Merseyside, Liverpool.
If you've ever stood on the corner of Walton Breck Road as the team bus pulls in, you'll know that there’s something about Anfield that defies simple logic.

Liverpool's summer schedule for 2026/27 is taking shape, and it carries the kind of fixtures that quicken the pulse of any supporter who pores over the club's results and history. Four pre-season friendlies are now lined up between 25 July and 9 August — Sunderland, Wrexham, a meeting with Leeds United at Soldier Field in Chicago, and a closing night against AS Monaco at Anfield. For a fanbase that knows its FA Cup nights, its European epics and its roll-call of captains and managers by heart, the off-season quiet is lifting, and the anticipation that has defined so many Anfield summers is stirring once more.
