Robbie Threlfall (pictured, center above) has been sent out on one month loan to League Two side, Hereford United. The 18-year-old left back was on both FA Youth Cup winning sides in 2006 and 2007. He scored the goal in the second leg of 2007 final with Manchester United to send the match to penalties, where Liverpool prevailed 4-2. He was named Man of the Match for his efforts that night at Old Trafford.
The U19 England International also saw action with the first team in preseason matches against Wrexham and South China FC. I got to watch the latter match and was quite impressed with the youngster's pace, composure, and toughness. Hopefully the local lad will continue to progress and one day follow in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher and fulfill his dream of becoming a first team regular.
