Liverpool academy chief Frank McParland has revealed Craig Bellamy's expertise in youth football.
McParland admits Bellamy takes an active interest in the Academy.
He told the Liverpool Echo: "When we've signed a young player this season, Craig spoke to him at length about how he'd seen him playing for England at youth level on TV.
"He knew how he played and had a really good chat with him about what he does well and how he can improve.
"Craig's love for the club and enthusiasm really shines through when he talks to the young players."
