Granddaughter of Shankly in charge of Liverpool Supporters Committee

Karen Gill, the granddaughter of Bill Shankly, has been elected as Chairperson of the inaugural Liverpool Supporters' Committee.

The Committee will meet four times a season with senior Club staff to discuss the issues and ask the questions that most affect them and the fans they represent.

Karen told liverpoolfc.tv: "It's such an honour. It's something I'm so looking forward to because my granddad almost started that special relationship with the fans, so for me this is a chance to carry on that legacy.

"I feel such a sense of responsibility, but it's also something I enjoy. I really do enjoy meeting fans and talking about my granddad, so it will be a great honour.

"I definitely think my granddad will be looking down on me and wishing me luck - but I hope I don't need too much luck!"
