Heighway quits at the top

Last updated : 26 April 2007 By Al Campbell
Heighway confirmed he will leave his role as Academy Director at the end of the season when interviewed by Sky Sports following the Reds' successful defence of the FA Youth Cup this evening.

Liverpool have only ever won the FA Youth Cup three times, in 1996, 2006 and now 2007. All three successes have come under Steve Heighway's time in charge of youth development and following the back to back wins, the former Reds' winger can retire on the highest note.
