In 2022, Leslie was immortalised with a statue at Home Park and, in 2023, his family received an honorary England cap from the FA at Wembley ahead of England’s game against Ukraine.

It’s not a farmer’s league at all. So much quality there. Yes PSG have dominance but a lot of top young players in Ligue 1

Club had a chance to sell him in Jan and they refused. So not TAA's fault that LFC not getting a fee.
