Nelson-Joyce plays the notorious Michael Kavanagh, who works for drug lord and lifelong friend Ronnie Phelan, played by Sean Bean.

And the plot focuses on the power struggle between Michael and Ronnie's son Jamie - played by Nelson-Joyce's real life football friend and fellow Scouser Jack McMullen - as to who will take over the business when the top dog retires to Spain, via the Wirral.

He says his latest character's respect for his partner in crime, Ronnie, was a mirror of his real life working relationship with Bean, who he describes as "a gift" of a co-star and a "kind human being".

In came Ben Brereton-Diaz, Ronnie Edwards, Nathan Wood, Charlie Taylor, Cameron Archer and Ryan Fraser, yet the club circulated several names including Brereton-Diaz, Edwards and Taylor to Championship sides ahead of January in the hope of loaning them out.

Those lyrics helped convince the jury of McGhee’s guilt in the deaths of rival gang members Ronnie Martin, 25 and Ryan Gonzalez, 17, as well as 25-year-old Margie Mendoza, the girlfriend of another rival.
