Ex-Liverpool marksman Adam Morgan, who was dubbed the best finisher at the club by Robbie Fowler, now plies his trade as a player/assistant manager in the eighth tier of English football.
However, club legend Fowler once praised him as one of the best finishers around, even with talents like Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge in the squad, and believed he had a bright future on Merseyside.

Morgan, who was in the same group of young talents as Raheem Sterling, joined the Reds in 2002 and made a significant impact eight years later by scoring 18 goals in just 16 games for the academy.
These impressive performances earned him a chance with the first team and attracted praise from Fowler, who had seen him play during a coaching visit to the academy.

He's a young lad, he's got a lot to learn about his play outside the box, but that will come.
As a finisher, he is probably one of the best I've seen for a long, long time, to be honest.

"It's wrong for me to say what he should be doing and so on because I'm not with him all the time, but in the games I've seen him play in, he's done alright.
You can tell people how to score goals, but it's about being instinctive, composed, and patient, and it could be 89 minutes before you get a chance."
Despite such promise, Morgan never made a significant impact at Liverpool.
Having moved clubs almost every year, Morgan has played in various tiers of English football and even spent time in Ireland with Sligo Rovers in 2018.
Plenty of non-league outfits later, the Merseyside native now finds himself at Northern Premier League Division One West side Clitheroe, where he also acts as an assistant manager.
