Kostas Tsimikas was brought in as Robertson&#8217;s backup and was affectionately known as the &#8216;Greek Scouser&#8217;, whilst Joe Gomez was regularly asked to play there too. On top of that, the Academy worked at producing left-backs that the manager could turn to if needs be, with Luke Chambers also playing as a left back and Calum Scanlon also working hard to make the left-back spot his own in the Under-21s.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the future, however, it looks as though Owen Beck will be the next in line to take the crown when Robertson moves on.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"who-is-he\">Who is Owen Beck?<\/h2>\n<p>Born Owen Michael Beck on the ninth of August 2002 in Bodelwyddan in Denbighsire, Wales, Beck joined the junior team of his home town club, Flint Town United. Surprisingly, he didn&#8217;t begin life as a defender, instead being a striker who knew how to find the back of the net. In fact, when he was just ten-years-old he was presented with the Flintshire Footballer of the Year award by Ian Rush.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation probably wasn&#8217;t as overawing for Beck as it might have been for other Welsh footballers, however, given the fact that he is the grandson of Ian Rush&#8217;s sister. As a result, he probably knew the Liverpool great quite well and didn&#8217;t mind shaking his hand.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Good result for the Under 23 side last night, beating Derby 1-0 at the wonderful Loughborough University Stadium.

Instead, he signed for Tranmere Rovers, the Wirral-based lower league side. He didn&#8217;t spend long at Tranmere before he was signed by Stoke City, which was when he made the move from being an attacker to start playing in the full-back position.<\/p>\n<p>When Ian Rush is your great uncle, it probably isn&#8217;t all that wise to play in the position that he made records in anyway. As he began to learn the position of left-back, Beck was spotted by Liverpool&#8217;s scouts and was signed up to the Academy, arriving from Stoke City to join the Under-13s team.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The fact that we still have Sepp van den Berg, Tyler Morton, Fabio Carvalho, and Owen Beck joining this <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LFC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LFC<\/a> youth team is scary.<\/p>\n<p>Just to name a few too. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/r737AJvHio\">pic.twitter.com\/r737AJvHio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; LFC Transfer Room (@LFCTransferRoom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LFCTransferRoom\/status\/1762963631367413859?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 28, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Initially he struggled to make an impact, hardly standing out in his age group and having he relatively small size held against him. As he grew older he also started to bulk out, meaning that by the 2019-2020 season he was able to be called up into the Under-18s team and could also play in Liverpool Under-19s UEFA Youth League side.<\/p>\n<p>When the 2020-2021 season got underway, Beck was called up to play in the Under-23s squad, showing that he was making the grade and impressing each time he was asked to move up a gear. In the June of 2020 that endeavour was rewarded when Beck was given his first professional contract with the Reds.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"experience\">Gaining Experience on Loan<\/h2>\n<p>During the pre-season for the 2021-2022 campaign, Owen Beck made a couple of appearances for Liverpool against Athletic Club and CA Osasuna. On the 27th of October he also made his first-team debut, appearing alongside a number of other young prospects in a game against Preston North End in the League Cup in a match at Deepdale that the Reds won 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>It was clear that he was talented, but that first-team opportunities were going to be few and far between. As a result, a deal was struck to send Beck on loan for the whole of the 2022-2023 campaign, gaining some experience of European football with Portuguese side Famalic\u00e3o.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Owen Beck vs St. Johnstone:<\/p>\n<p>38\/48 Passes<br \/>5 Key Passes!<br \/>6\/15 Crosses<br \/>1 Big Chance Created<br \/>4\/7 Ground Duels<br \/>3\/3 Dribbles!<br \/>1 Assist<\/p>\n<p>He is flying in Scotland! \ud83d\udcab <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GoSS5Hca0C\">pic.twitter.com\/GoSS5Hca0C<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \ud83c\udd58 (@LFCApproved) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LFCApproved\/status\/1756712227120238638?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, things didn&#8217;t work out in Portugal and so the loan was cancelled and he was recalled on the 31st of August, having made no appearances.
