A new mural has been completed at the AXA Training Centre paying tribute to some of Liverpool Football Club’s most legendary goalkeepers.

Commissioned by John Achterberg and created by local artist John Culshaw, the design features a number of iconic figures who have represented the Reds between the sticks throughout history.

The artwork is situated in the dedicated goalkeeper training area of the facility, providing inspiration to the modern-day stoppers as they undergo their daily drills.

First-team goalkeeping coach Achterberg told Liverpoolfc.com: “We’d had something at Melwood, which was a painting of the Kop, and then I saw the murals around town, so I thought it’d be good to do something with the goalie area on the wall there because it was originally just concrete.
