Liverpool FC physio ‘romped with colleague and sent her a snap of his penis’
Married Liam Kershaw admitted sexual activity during office hours and sending an indecent picture from his work phone, at a hearing yesterday
A LIVERPOOL FC physio romped with a colleague and sent her a snap of his penis, a disciplinary hearing was told.
Married Liam Kershaw began the affair after a club Christmas party.
The pair got fruity four times at the team’s academy premises, the Health and Care Professions Council heard.
A colleague caught a “surprised” Kershaw, 42, with the woman, who is 13 years his junior, in a locked Portakabin.
Emails between the pair suggest they secretly engaged in oral sex and groping while up to 100 schoolkid players used the facilities in 2015.
But the fling turned “sour” and the admin worker threatened to tell Kershaw’s wife.
She also sent him “extreme” and “nasty” messages about his family.
During internal disciplinary proceedings the dad of two “swore blind” nothing sexual happened but later admitted sending the picture of his penis.
Kershaw, who was also the safeguarding officer at Liverpool’s academy, left his post last year.
He now works as a physio at Premier League rivals Huddersfield Town.
He yesterday told the London hearing the “deeply regrettable” romps lasted just “minutes”.
Kershaw, of Liverpool, said: “All along I knew it was wrong but I was drawn into it. I clearly made a big mistake, it is something I will regret for the rest of my life.”
He admits sexual activity during office hours and sending an indecent picture from his work phone but denies his fitness to practice is impaired.
The hearing continues.
