# Andy Robertson named PFA Community Champion

Liverpool star Andrew Robertson has been named as the Professional Footballers Association’s Community Champion.

As announced on the [official Liverpool website](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/community/348169-andy-robertson-named-pfa-community-champion), Robertson was given the award due to for his ongoing support of Liverpool Football Club’s work in the local community, with a major focus being on the Scottish star’s backing of the Fans Supporting Foodbanks initiative.

On Robertson’s award, John Hudson, PFA’s director of corporate social responsibility, said:

> The PFA believes that players who make that extra effort and contribution during the season should be recognised for their support and involvement in the local community. The award will hopefully raise awareness of the great contribution and importance many of our members attach to their roles off the pitch. We would like to offer our congratulations to Andy Robertson on receiving this season’s 2018-19 PFA Community Champion Award.
