Clubs co-founder, Jeremy Elson was grateful to the Champions League winning Liverpool mentor who is also a patron of the club.
“Jurgen is a fantastic chap to have associated with the club,” said Elson.
“He came and did a talk in 2017, where he spoke about his time as a manager, his philosophy, football, his ambitions. The most amazing thing about him is how humble he is. ” said Elson.
Elson added that Klopp has continuously made donations since his visit and still holds a close relationship with the initiative.
