Profile

Phil Charnock became a record holder when he made his debut for Liverpool against Apollon Limassol on September 16, 1992.

He was the club's youngest player to ever appear in a European match, aged 17 years and seven months. Jamie Redknapp's record was literally history - a record he had broken approximately a year earlier.

Phil added only one League cup appearance to his debut appearance in the Cup Winners' cup before he had a brief loan spell at Blackpool in 1996. Shortly afterwards he joined Crewe Alexandra, where he finally had the opportunity to be a first-team regular. Although often injured during his six years at Gresty Road, Charnock made over 150 Football League appearances for the Cheshire club, scoring 8 times, before he joined Port Vale in 2002. After a single season in the Potteries, Phil briefly played for Bury before deciding to try his luck in Northern Ireland, firstly with Linfield and then later with Ballymena United. Unfortunately, the player's injury problems returned, particularly to his knee, and this caused him to miss a complete season while on Linfield's books.

In the summer of 2006, Phil Charnock returned to England to sign for Fleetwood Town. A year later he moved to another north-west club, Conference North team Leign RMI.
