But when I was asked, I didn’t want to miss the chance to say thank you to a city and a community that has made me and my family feel like one of their own from day one.Let me start with something that probably sounds more suited to a letter in The Herald back in Glasgow.I’m a proud Glaswegian. I always will be.

I love telling people where I’m from. It’s where I was born, where I was raised and it’ll forever be in my blood.But after nine years here, I’ve realised there’s room in my heart for two cities.Liverpool will forever define a huge part of my life.Honestly, I think the reason me and my family settled so quickly is because Liverpool reminded us so much of home.

People here can spot nonsense a mile off, and I’ve always respected that.I know from the outside my connection to this city will always be tied to the football club and everything we achieved together. Passionate, emotional and never dull.I’ll finish the only way that feels right — by simply saying thank you.Thank you for welcoming a skinny wee lad from Glasgow who kicks a bag of air around for a living and making him feel part of something much bigger than football.I said earlier that I’ve always loved saying, “I’m from Glasgow.”What always struck me about Scousers was they said “I’m from Liverpool” in exactly the same way — chest out, proud as anything, with that look in their eye.After nine years here, I understand that feeling far better than I ever could have imagined.And in my own way, I share it.Liverpool, it’s been an absolute pleasure.The privilege was all mine.Love,Andy and the Robertson family.Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
