Praise for Paco

Last updated : 03 May 2006 By Al Campbell
Last night's 2-0 defeat at Manchester City was Paco Herrera's last game in joint charge of the reserves as he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season and return to Spain to be with his family.

Herrera has played a vital part in the reserves' and FA youth Cup winning team's success this season as he was the man who discovered Jack Hobbs, Godwin Antwi, Miki Roque and Paul Anderson amongst others.

After last night's game fellow reserve team coach Hugh McAuley paid tribute to the work of Herrera.

"Paco is an excellent coach and is a really good man who I have enjoyed working with very much. I will be very sorry to see him go." he said.
