Andy Robertson pens farewell letter to Liverpool before final game
Andy Robertson has published an open letter thanking Liverpool supporters as he prepares to make his final appearance for the club against Brentford at Anfield.
The defender will end a trophy-laden nine-year spell on Merseyside following Sunday’s Premier League fixture.
During his time at the club, the left-back secured two Premier League titles, a Champions League, an FA Cup, and two League Cups.
He is expected to make his 378th appearance for the Reds as Arne Slot’s side look to rubber-stamp their place in next season’s Champions League.
A deep connection to Merseyside
In a message shared with the local press, the Scotland international expressed profound gratitude to the city that embraced him.
He reflected on how seamlessly he and his family integrated into the local community after arriving in 2017.
I didn’t want to miss the chance to say thank you to a city and a community that has made me and my family feel like one of their own from day one.
The Glaswegian noted the striking similarities between his hometown and Liverpool, praising the working-class spirit shared by both cities.
At times it genuinely feels like Glasgow and Liverpool are only separated by two different accents.
Anfield departures loom
Robertson is not the only key figure preparing to wave goodbye to the Anfield faithful this weekend.
Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah will also depart the club following the clash with Thomas Frank’s Brentford.
Together, the duo have been instrumental in restoring Liverpool to the pinnacle of domestic and European football over the past decade.
Their imminent departures signal the definitive end of a historic era as the club fully transitions into the Slot regime.
Family milestones
Beyond his achievements on the pitch, the full-back highlighted the personal milestones his family experienced during their time in the North West.
He recalled the daunting prospect of relocating as a young couple expecting their first child.
Liverpool instantly made us feel comfortable. And the incredible people at Liverpool Women’s Hospital made us feel safe at a time in our lives where that was needed most.
The veteran defender leaves behind a permanent legacy, having firmly cemented his place in modern Liverpool folklore.
