NewsGemma Bonner's LFC appearance record recognised with special presentation

The defender, who is enjoying her second spell with the club after rejoining in January 2023, eclipsed Ashley Hodson's tally of 134 outings earlier this month in the Continental League Cup tie against Manchester City to make history.

And at the Reds' next WSL fixture at Prenton Park, Bonner was presented with a framed shirt by Ian Callaghan, who tops the men's list for appearances with 857.

After making the presentation, Callaghan told Liverpoolfc.com: "I've met Gemma before and it's just an absolute pleasure to be here today to mark her achievement.

"I watch Liverpool Women on the television, very much so, but it's great to be here in person for the first time.

"I'd say to Gemma to add as many appearances as she can and just enjoy it. To have played more than 135 times for Liverpool in what is still quite a young league is just fantastic.

"People still speak to me about being Liverpool men's all-time playing record holder and it's something I'm very proud of."
