Liverpool chief Parry tribute to Riise

Liverpool chief Rick Parry has paid tribute to John Arne Riise after the Norway international was sold to Roma yesterday.

The 27-year-old left-back secured a £4million switch to the Italian giants on Wednesday night after seven years at Anfield.

Riise made 347 appearances for the Reds, scoring 31 goals, and was a key member of the side that won the Champions League in 2005 and FA Cup the following year.

Parry told the club's website: "John has been a tremendous servant to Liverpool over many years and has played a key role in all of our recent triumphs.

"Everybody at Anfield would now like to wish him all the best in his new career in Italy."
