Stephen's pitch unveiled at Academy
Ian Ayre and Frank McParland joined friends and family of Stephen Packer for the unveiling of a special all-weather pitch, which has been renamed after the youngster.
Stephen was a Liverpool U9s player who tragically passed away in November 2012 after an incredibly brave battle against cancer.
The 'Stephen Packer Memorial Pitch' now has its own Shankley Gates-style entrance bearing Stephen's name.
A plaque was also unveiled to commemorate the renaming and afterwards a canvas of Stephen was presented to his family - a bigger version of which is now on proud display inside the Academy.
Earlier this week, as a fitting tribute to the youngster, Academy representatives completed a demanding three-peak challenge in under nine hours to raise funds for Alder Hey Children's hospital in Stephen's memory.
Among the group of 25 staff and players were Academy director McParland, Stephen's parents and his granddad.
So far over £7,000 has been raised for such a worthwhile cause - but the Academy still need your donations.
