Liverpool is known worldwide as a city associated with sporting achievement but it goes so much deeper than football! Join curator Karen O'Rourke as she uncovers the fascinating stories of Liverpool's sporting role models including contemporaries like Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Tash Jonas, but also less known achievers like Tom Farell, James Clarke, Lottie Dodd and Ronnie Colwell.
