Meet the Academy... Jordan Lussey
Next up in our weekly Meet the Academy series, which seeks to shed further light on the aspiring talents developing their potential at the club's Kirkby youth base, is tenacious U21s midfielder Jordan Lussey.
The 20-year-old - who has been with the club for more than a decade - is a combative, box-to-box presence for Michael Beale's charges and possesses both a strong passing range and a keen eye for goal when opportunities arise.
In our exclusive Q&A below, Lussey reveals the altogether different profession he might have tried instead of football, the Real Madrid superstar he would like to meet and his appreciation for Steven Gerrard.
