Though Frank Lampard failed as an Everton manager, thousands of Bluenoses heading to Anfield on Saturday could still end up grateful to him for mentoring Jack Harrison.
Harrison's fantastic goal against Bournemouth two weeks ago earned Sean Dyche's team a much-needed win ahead of the Merseyside derby.
Yet he's not forgotten his spell as a timid teenage hopeful at New York City when Lampard rocked up at the end of his playing career.
They forged a close bond and Harrison credits the former Chelsea and England great for giving him the self-belief to be a success in the Premier League.
