You see the ones that are already up there, and it means a lot to me that somebody would think of doing that, and I think what it symbolises is probably more important to me, so it was pretty special when I found out about it.”Even if Andy Robertson may not see himself as quite deserving enough to be among the greats on the streets surrounding Anfield, he has more than justified a piece of artwork being created in his honour.A fine servant to the club, on and off the field and he will be sorely missed.
