Achterberg appreciation thread

[Ian]

Got lots of cross topics at the mo, so this one is dedicated to John Achterberg who has joined Liverpool as goalkeeper coach.

White Review wish him all the best at Liverpool. What a great guy and total professional.

Sorry to see you go John and thanks for the memories!

Thanks for everything John! =D>=D>=D>=D>

 

[Boz]

Yeah, decent goalie, all-round good bloke, hope he'll be back in a coaching/managerial role at Tranmere someday

Spot on, Boz. How many players stay 11 years at one club? All the time he was number two keeper he never complained but helped Ward/Coyne warm up before each match. He ran the summer schools for kids etc. Shame we couldn't offer him something better to make him stay. I wonder what sort of manager he'd make.

I wish him all the best. Liverpool's reserve keepers have been decidedly dodgy in recent years, so he'll have his work cut out!!
