Alex Inglethorpe has outlined how the cultural qualities of the city of Liverpool influenced the design of the AXA Training Centre.
The club’s Academy manager played a significant role in the planning process behind the state-of-the-art facility in Kirkby, which was officially opened on Tuesday.
During an interview for LFCTV’s forthcoming documentary, A New Beginning: Building the AXA Training Centre, Inglethorpe explains that ‘what the city stands for’ was a key consideration before decisions were made regarding how the new complex should look and feel.
“Clearly I’m not a Scouser, but I’ve lived here long enough now to have a better understanding of the city,” Inglethorpe notes.
