'The first time I saw Anfield was an extraordinary moment'
Liverpool chairman Tom Werner recalls the 'extraordinary' experience of seeing Anfield for the first time in person in a new LFCTV programme premiering today.
Werner is the chief contributor to the first episode of 'What LFC Means To Me', a series celebrating the club's past, present and future in its 125th year of existence through exclusive interviews with key figures.
Asked about his first taste of the Reds' iconic home ground, which came in the immediate aftermath of Fenway Sports Group's 2010 takeover, Werner offers an engaging account.
"I was aware of Liverpool as a football fan and I knew its unique history, but the first time I entered Anfield it was an extraordinary moment," he explains.
"To see that pitch and to the Kop, at that moment I thought I was part of something quite special.
"I take enormous pride being involved with Liverpool, it's a global family.
"I could be anywhere around the world and I will find a Liverpool supporter who will share his experiences and talk about the next match.
"We know we're part of something special and something that's unique."
Werner also outlined his optimistic outlook for the club's future under manager Jürgen Klopp.
"I think are happiest times are still yet to come, the future is extremely bright," he adds.
"The club now has a remarkable manager who is world class, we have a number of world class players on the team.
"We're going to be building a new [facility] at Kirkby, where we're combining the first team with the Academy.
"We continue to strive every day to make the club stronger and better."
'What LFC Means To Me' premieres on LFCTV at 5.15pm BST on Saturday June 3. Watch for FREE on LFCTV GO below.
