Who was the player

[skemstokie]

Who was the player, a young academy player who Liverpool enticed to join them and who was left in limbo when the F.A. ruled in Stokes favour and Liverpool fined for poaching. I f my memory is right it was about 15 years ago?

There was this story from 2017:

Doesn’t name the player, was 11 in 2016 when they initially poached him.

Owen Beck was pinched from our academy by Liverpool but it wasn’t 15 years ago.

Mate's a Dundee fan and they massively rate him - could easily have done a job for us I reckon unless our seeming aversion to left backs got
in his development path. Be interesting to see if he makes it at Liverpool as could see Robertson being moved on in the next 18 months especially if he loses a yard of pace and he's still only 21.

Isn't he Ian Rushs nephew or something like that

Did he have a brother who was at Stoke as well ?
