    Jay Spearing Facts

  • Jay had started his soccer journey in 1997, as a member of the youth team of Liverpool F.C. About a decade later, in 2007, he was the captain of the club’s under-18 team that had won the FA Youth Cup. He was a part of the final of the tournament in the previous season as well but that season would stay more in his memory because a broken leg had greatly diminished his playing time.
  • He was promoted to Melwood (the club’s senior team training ground from the 1950s until November 2020) in the summer of 2007 to train with Liverpool F.C.‘s first team.
  • A few months after this, he had been voted the best player in the Torneo di Renate, a tournament that had featured under-20 teams of some major European clubs including A.C. Milan and Parma Calcio 1913.
  • He was also a key member of Liverpool F.C.‘s reserve side that had clinched the Premier Reserve League in the 2007–08 season. This marked the end of his youth career as he was deemed ready enough to be transitioned into Liverpool F.C.‘s senior team.
  • For his performances in the 2012–13 season, he was named the ‘Player of the Year’ by Bolton Wanderers F.C.
  • For his performances in the 2020–21 season, he was named the ‘Player of the Year’ by Tranmere Rovers F.C.
  • Jay is a patron of the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, a charitable British organization that works to spread awareness about Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and raise funds for research on the same.
