FIVE REDS RELEASED
By Steve Hunter

Republic of Ireland Under-21 international winger Richie Partridge and
defender Jon Otsemobor head a list of five players that have been
released by Liverpool.

Partridge and Otsemobor are leaving Anfield alongside goalkeepers Paul
Harrison and Patrice Luzi as well as England Under-20 international
striker Mark Smyth.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has also told Czech Republic ace
Vladimir Smicer that he can leave the Reds at the end of the season,
bringing his six year association with the Reds to an end. Smicer is now
hoping he can have one final great moment in a Liverpool shirt by
helping the Reds to Champions League glory against AC Milan on Wednesday
night.

Partridge made just three appearances for Liverpool and this season
featured in the Carling Cup wins against Middlesbrough and Tottenham
Hotspur. He spent the entire 2003/04 season out on loan at Coventry City.

Right back Jon Otsemobor spent three months on loan at Crewe Alexandra
at the start of this season. Last season he made six appearances for the
first team before the previous manager Gerard Houllier sent him out on
loan to Bolton Wanderers.

England Under-20 striker Mark Smyth, a boyhood Liverpool fan, made one
appearance for the first team but he leaves with a good memories as it
was against Tottenham Hotspur in the Carling Cup quarter-final.

French goalkeeper Patrice Luzi was signed by Gerard Houllier from Monaco
in the summer of 2002 and made just one first team appearances as a
substitute for the injured Jerzy Dudek in a 1-0 win against Chelsea in 2003.

Reserve team goalkeeper Paul Harrison has also been released without
making a first team appearance.

Liverpoolfc.tv would like to wish the players all the best for their
future careers.
