Liverpool superfan Sam Quek has told FourFourTwo that she owns an enviable piece of Anfield memorabilia.
The Olympic Gold-winning hockey star is an avid Red and actually came close to becoming a Liverpool player – twice. After choosing to pursue a hockey career over football as a teenager, she told FFT that she had the chance at a trial for Liverpool but was too busy pursuing a media career.
Still, there's a part of Anfield currently in her own home – with Quek having purchased one of the benches of the famous old grounds.
"When one of the stands at Anfield was being refurbished a couple of years back, they sold some of the bits at an auction," she tells us. "And I managed to get the home manager’s bench, which now sits proudly in my games room at home.
"It’s five flip-down seats and I’m always imagining the number of famous managers that have sat on them over the years."
That's a pretty incredible thing to own for any football fan, right?
