Quietly they stood in the queue, stretching far beyond the door of the main reception at St Helens, to pay their respects to the former Liverpool manager Matt Beard. Once inside, an image of Beard and his trademark smile was displayed on a screen above a table where red and white flowers one bouquet accompanied by a handwritten note expressing love from Sunderland lay next to the books of condolence that were quickly filling up with messages of love.

Liverpool Football Club is deeply shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of former LFC Women manager Matt Beard. The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Matt's family and friends at this devastating time. Matt was not only an extremely committed and successful manager, he was also a person of real integrity and warmth, who will always be remembered with genuine fondness by everyone he worked with at the club.
