		The 24-year-old striker scored 19 goals last season for Liverpool and is in their squad for the Champions League third qualifying round, first leg tie with Graz AK in Austria later today.

	Profile on Mark Lawrenson
		Mark Lawrenson (born Preston, England, June 2, 1957) was an elegant defender in the all-conquering Liverpool football team of the 1980s, who later became a successful pundit for the BBC.
		Lawrenson began his career with his hometown club, Preston North End, before moving on to Brighton and Hove Albion where his form earned him a call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad, winning the first of 39 caps.
		Liverpool then came in with a club transfer record offer of 900,000 pounds and Lawrenson joined in the summer of 1981, forming a watertight central defensive partnership with Alan Hansen, although he was also used frequently (and with equal aptitude) at full back or in midfield.

	Mark Lawrenson
		Yet, from Lawrenson's earliest days at the club, it was clear Paisley had unearthed another gem.
		The sense of unfulfilled potential that attaches itself to Lawrenson also extends to a truncated managerial career, a promising beginning at Oxford United, thwarted by clashes with the club's board, being followed by a 15-month spell at Peterborough.
		Lawrenson tackled one of the most unenviable tasks in soccer during 1996-97, taking on the job of defensive coach at Newcastle United.

	Observer \| The record doctor: Mark Lawrenson
		His best ever gig was U2 on the Wembley leg of their Zooropa tour, a thrill accentuated by the fact that Lawrenson met the band afterwards ('Adam knows his football, so we had a good chat').
		The 'wife' in question is 10 years younger than Lawrenson, which explains his affection for Travis, Oasis, the Verve and Paul Weller: 'See, it's quite diverse what I'm into.' Well, it's all quite Britpoppy, actually.
		Lawrenson grew to like Everton Blender for his music's 'timeless quality' and for his ridiculous name.

	04/12/99 - Bob Paisley Article (The Daily Post)
		Mark Lawrenson is unlikely to forget his first encounter with Bob Paisley.
		Signed from Brighton late one Friday night and deposited at the Atlantic Tower hotel for safekeeping, Mark was so in awe of the great man that next morning he got up two hours earlier than he needed to.
		Lawrenson's words, a mixture of reverence, rapture and downright astonishment, are echoed throughout a book that attempts to unlock the mystery of how a diffident, unassuming Geordie without a shred of ego transformed himself into a modern-day soccer genius who re-wrote the pages of footballing history.

		A tall, commanding centre-back with pace, power and no little skill, Mark Lawrenson was part of one of the best defensive duos English football has witnessed, his pairing with Alan Hansen a key factor in Liverpool's success in the Eighties.
		Soon making a name for himself at Deepdale, in April 1977 he made is debut for the Republic of Ireland versus Poland, while just two months later the 20 year-old stepped up from Division Three to Division Two when Brighton and Hove Albion broke their transfer record paying Preston £100,000 for the newly capped defender.
		Proving to be a baptism of fire, after a mere 8 months in charge the rookie manager left the Manor Ground, but a year later he returned to the managerial fray as boss of Fourth Division Peterborough United.

		Mark Lawrenson Soccer analyst: With the World Cup taking a two-day break after the second-round games, this is an obvious moment to pause for reflection.
		Even if I still feel this has been a good tournament with some really outstanding games, such as Argentina versus Mexico, and plenty of bright, attractive football, I have one major concern - refereeing.
		Italy look like the tough and hard tournament team of football cliche; they keep winning and, with respect to Australia, they deserved to win that second-round game.

		Posted in Football at 7:28 pm by GC The April issue of When Saturday Comes was a little late in turning up at Chez CSTB, which is a crying shame.
		Mark Lawrenson (above) should retain his loft position, too, despite contriving with John Motson, to cover the Liverpool v Manchester United FA Cup tie in as obtuse a manner as possible.
		But they upped the ante with a bravura performance around Alan Smith’s injury, Lawrenson wondering first if he had “dislocated something with the force of the shot” before diagnosing from the monitor close-up a “sort of loose” leg and that it was his right.

		When the barrels were eventually opened, they were pointing squarely in the direction of BBC soccer analyst Mark Lawrenson, who had suggested on Grandstand that perhaps Reid's team did not possess the staying power to claim a Champions League place.
		Reid would have it that his stance regarding one of TV's more sensible pundits is merely a reflection of the fact that they stood on either side of the Merseyside divide as players, Reid's blue opposing Lawrenson's red.
		They mirrored to some extent just what Mark Lawrenson had said on TV that morning.
