What does it mean to represent LFC:

“To represent Liverpool Football Club is nothing short of a dream come true. As a youngster I would watch players such as John Barnes, Steven Gerard, and Michael Owen. Then I would go out in the backyard and pretend to be them as I kicked about with my friends. From the tradition to the Sportsmanship, Character, and Commitment, I have always aimed to align myself with the club and its vision.”
