the Wirral before joining Liverpool.
Raven gave up a potential career on the music scene in
favour of footie He played a number of games at centre half for

was a regular captain of Liverpool's reserve team, and
spent part of the 2005/06 season on loan at Tranmere Rovers.

right back, and also winning the clubs Most Improved
