Brendan Rodgers YNWA, manager of Premier League football club Liverpool, led a group of Liverpool legends yesterday, to pay their respects at the site of the 9/11 memorial while the team are in New York. The Reds manager was joined by former players Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum where they spoke with museum president Joe Daniels and Project Rebirths Outreach Advisor to students, military & first responder communities, retired New York City Fire Department (FDNY) firefighter Tim Brown. It was clearly an emotional moment for the Reds manager as he laid down a floral wreath adorned with the clubs scarf featuring the words Youll never Walk Alone at the site where so many people lost their lives. When I found out New York was on our pre-season schedule I wanted us, as a club, to come and pay our respects where the World Trade Center once stood and hear some of the emotional, distressing, powerful but also inspiring accounts of that fateful day. The stories told to us by firefighter Brown were profoundly moving and touched every one of us. This visit will live in my memory for some time. I would like to sincerely thank museum president Joe Daniels and retired New York firefighter Tim Brown for taking time to show us around the memorial this afternoon - Brendan Rodgers We love you Tim Brown and thank you Brendan Rodgers for sharing this experience with your team
