His son, Tobias, who is hoping to follow in his father's footsteps by emerging from Rosenborg's academy, was born in Liverpool and retains a Scouse accent.

As such, when Stig is asked to sum up Liverpool in one word and simply replies with 'emotional', it does not feel like a simple platitude.

He adds: "It's emotional for so many people, it's emotional for me and everyone who has been there.

"I was there for eight-and-a-half seasons and I'm sure there are specific and general things I learned during that time which have helped to form me as a person and in my professional career."

Episode one of 'Added Time' - featuring Stig Inge Bjornebye - will air for the first time on LFCTV on Monday at 6.30pm BST.

The Norwegian left-back was a mainstay in teams led by Graeme Souness, Roy Evans and Gerard Houllier from his arrival in 1992 to his exit eight years later. He was also part of Norway's golden generation, featuring at two World Cups. That first World Cup in 1994 saw him take on Jack Charlton's Ireland.

After that, the current Rosenborg BK sporting director played at Blackburn Rovers. That current sporting director role has seen him emphasise the importance of community work for young players.
