STAFF PROFILE
John Achterberg joined Liverpool's backroom staff in June 2009 after making the
short trip across the Mersey from Wirral neighbours Tranmere Rovers.
The Dutchman spent more than 10 years at Prenton Park as a player and, latterly, a
goalkeeping coach.
Signed by Kop legend John Aldridge in September 1998 from Dutch outfit FC Utrecht,
he went on to make over 250 appearances for Rovers and was an extremely popular figure
among the supporters.
Former Aston Villa and Tranmere manager Brian Little described Achterberg as
"the most professional player" he ever worked with.
Now he puts this professionalism to good use working alongside Xavi Valero with the
club's goalkeepers.
