Player Notes:
A hard-working defender dedicated to Liverpool's cause though lacking the necessary qualities to succeed in the long-term. He was a regular in Dalglish's time at the club, performing consistently at left-back or centre half. However, Souness sold him to Everton for £750,000. Ablett spent a few years as coach at Everton's academy and in the summer of 2006 he returned to Liverpool as manager of the reserve team.
That appointment soon brought success as under Ablett's guidance Liverpool won the Premier Reserve League (North) in April, 2008 and a month later became national champions by convincingly defeating the Southern champions Aston Villa 3-0 at Anfield. His second season in charge proved to be somewhat of an anti-climax and he was sacked as part of Rafa Benítez' rebuilding of the youth system at Liverpool in the summer of 2009.
On the 8th of July 2009 Gary Ablett was named as the new manager of League One club Stockport County. County had a miserable 2009-2010 season and were relegated back to League Two after losing at home to Yeovil in April, 2010. Just over two months later, ironically on the day the 2010-2011 League fixtures were released, it was announced that Ablett had left the club.
