Anfield is looking resplendent. The stunning new Main Stand has transformed it into a stadium befitting a club of Liverpool’s stature.
It’s a far cry from the arena Ged Poynton first walked into when he started working for the Reds back in December 1990.
Over the past 26 years the long-serving stadium manager and head of operations has been involved in the redevelopment of all four sides of Anfield. Next month - with his work complete on the Main Stand project - the loyal club servant will walk away ahead of his 65th birthday.
“On the pitch Liverpool were champions of England when I came here in 1990 but off it they were way behind the times,” he told the ECHO.
