Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is a class act – anyone who has been paying attention over the last decade knows this much.
As is his way, the boss ensured the Reds’ long-serving retiring kit-man Graham Carter had a send-off to remember.

The 69-year-old has been with Liverpool since the 1970s, starting out as a coach driver for the club before going full-time in the 80s and eventually being appointed kit manager in 1999 – but he’s now called time on his working career.
Klopp took Carter over to a fan-filled Kop end at the end of the Reds’ 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon, and performed his iconic three-pronged fist-pumps to the crowd, with the legendary kit-man by his side.
