Jurgen Klopp was delighted to hand BBC Northern Ireland’s Sports Personality of the Year award to Northern Ireland’s record goalscorer, Rachel Furness.
The 33-year-old is only the second woman to receive the award, with the national side’s accomplishments in qualifying for European Championship – the women’s team’s first appearance at a major competition.
We want to extend our own congratulations to the Liverpool Women’s midfielder for the well-deserved achievement and wish Kenny Shiels’ utfit the best of luck.
