LIVERPOOL FC have signed up to take part in a groundbreaking behind-the-scenes documentary with American broadcaster Fox Soccer.

Cameras will be given unprecedented access to the dressing rooms at Anfield and Melwood to film the six-part series entitled Our Liverpool: Never Walk Alone.

Filming is expected to begin in the next week and continue through the club’s pre-season tour of Canada and the USA in July and into the start of next season.

It is the result of discussions between Fox and Liverpool’s American owner Fenway Sports Group, which is keen to raise the Reds’ profile and maximise commercial benefits across the globe.

Reds chairman Tom Werner said: “I am delighted the team at Fox are producing this unique series.

“I expect it will be compelling programming as Liverpool will provide unprecedented access.

“This will be an amazing opportunity for our fans to see a new side of the club and for us to reach out to many more potential supporters around the world who will come to understand what makes Liverpool FC so special.”

The show is expected to reach more than 100m viewers when aired in the autumn.

The Fox crew will be led by award-winning producer Scott Boggins, who was responsible for HBO’s hugely successful 24/7 series. His work has included around-the-clock access to boxers such as Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton.

Fox Soccer general manager David Nathanson said: “Our goal is to capture the essence of what it means to be a part of Liverpool FC in an authentic manner, and no producer has more experience with this style of story-telling than Scott.

“Scott’s body of work is remarkable, giving fans a true peek behind the curtain into the lives of sport’s biggest teams, athletes and coaches. Scott has proven his ability to capture these inner workings in a truly organic manner, and now he has the opportunity to tell Liverpool FC’s rich story to a global audience.”

Reds managing director Ian Ayre added: “Anyone who supports, plays for or works at this club knows how unique and special it is and how much it means.

“This project creates a fantastic opportunity to allow people across the world to have a glimpse of the inner workings of the club following the lives of our staff, our players and our fans, all of whom make up everything that is Liverpool FC.”
