Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has heaped praise upon striker Craig Bellamy.
The Welsh international rejoined the Reds during the summer following spells with West Ham United, Manchester City and Cardiff City.
Dalglish has been pleased with Bellamy's attitude since returning to Anfield and believes that the 32-year-old "is a great example" to youngsters.
"We said when he came in that we were delighted to have him. We know his heart is in the right place and the performances he has been putting in have been excellent for us," the Scottish boss told reporters.
"He is quick, he is intelligent and he chips in with goals. He scored one and made one on Sunday. We were delighted with the way he played and I'm sure Craig was as well.
"He is a great example because of the way he prepares for games. And then after he has prepared well, he's a great example for the kids because you can say, 'there's someone who has prepared properly and look what he has done on the pitch."
Bellamy is expected to start for Liverpool against Wigan Athletic tomorrow evening.
