The Claret Jug, golf's most iconic trophy, made a special appearance at Anfield for Liverpool's last game of the season against Middlesbrough.

Reds legend and official Open ambassador, Kenny Dalglish, joined Johnnie Cole-Hamilton, executive director - championships at The R&A, on the pitch to present the trophy to fans.

Ahead of the 146th staging of the Championship at Royal Birkdale from July 16 to 23, Liverpool FC has teamed up with The Open to offer fans the chance to see the world’s greatest golfers play the famous Southport links in their quest to become champion golfer of the year.

Reds fans can purchase hospitality tickets for the historic Championship and join Dalglish at the Hillside Clubhouse, situated at the iconic Hillside Golf Club next to Royal Birkdale.

Fans who purchase hospitality tickets through the club will receive a free pair of Open Championship cufflinks with each purchase.

Cole-Hamilton said: “The Open is a true celebration of golf and one of the world’s great sporting events. We look forward to working with Liverpool FC to help promote The Open’s return to the historic links at Royal Birkdale for the 10th time this summer.”

There are still packages remaining for the Hillside Club, where you can join Dalglish, and these are available through the LFC hospitality team. Visit www.liverpoolfc.com/hospitality or call 0151 264 2222 for more information.

Be there to witness one of the world’s greatest sporting events.
