[edit]As a physiotherapist
[edit]Huddersfield Town appointed him as their physiotherapist on 4 July 2008, after four years with Accrington Stanley, replacing Lee Brendan Martin. He left the club after the dismissal of Stan Ternent.[2]
Liversedge started his physiotherapy career at Newcastle United. He subsequently worked at Oldham Athletic, Manchester United, Stoke City, Altrincham and Burnley where he spent five years with Stan Ternent.[3] Whilst at Burnley he was given the sobriquet 'Sos'.[4] He has also worked at the Beaumont Hospital in Bolton.[1]
He joined Accrington Stanley in June 2004, then in the Conference, with a brief to "establish the medical side of the operation ... virtually from scratch".[5] When he left, Chief Executive Robert Heys said "Ian played an important role in our promotion back to the Football League in 2006".[6]
Liversedge moved to Macclesfield Town in January 2014.[7]
Radio broadcast
[edit]Liversedge took part in the BBC Radio 4 programme "Kicking Off The Dream", which looked behind the scenes at Oldham Athletic, on 4 January 1990.[8]
Disciplinary matters
[edit]The FA Regulatory Commission fined Liversedge £100 and warned him as to future conduct, on 4 October 2007, for a breach of FA Rule E3 - Improper conduct. This arose from an incident at the Accrington Stanley v Peterborough United League Two match on 1 September 2007.[9] He was charged again, for using bad language during the Accrington Stanley v Milton Keynes Dons game on 24 March 2008.[10]
