Southampton hero Rory Delap says son Liam won't be following his famous trait of long throw-ins.

Liam Delap is now part of Manchester City's academy after joining last summer from Derby County.

“I think he was put off when he was about an under-10!" Delap senior told Radio Stoke.

“One of the parents shouted that he was ruining the game when he took a throw and he hasn't taken one since. I don't think that will be part of his game.

“I started in a similar position but I didn't have his pace or power and it took me a few more chances to put the ball in the back of the net!

“He's enjoying it and that's all I'm bothered about. I've never pushed him into it but he's a good lad and if he keeps his head down and works hard, he'll have a chance in the game."
