Liverpool visit 9/11 memorial

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers lays a wreath at the 9/11 memorial site during the club's visit to New York.

Liverpool have laid a wreath at the 9/11 memorial site in New York during their pre-season tour of the United States.

A delegation from the club, led by manager Brendan Rodgers, also placed a club scarf at the site.

Rodgers told the club's website: "It was a great privilege to lead the Liverpool delegation of Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler and Billy Hogan to a site which carries great significance, not just for America but the entire world.

"I have visited Manhattan on a number of occasions, both privately and professionally and it is, without doubt, one of the greatest places on the planet, with a spirit and a character that is quite unique.

"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."


Liverpool play AC Milan in America tomorrow night.
