Publisher's Synopsis
An official, licensed history of a club with some of the most passionate supporters in the world
No English club can match the Reds' roll of honor at home and abroad: Five European Cup/Champions Leagues, three UEFA Cups, 18 Football League championships, seven FA Cups, eight Football League Cups, plus numerous others. This history charts the rise of Liverpool FC to the very summit of English and European soccer. This updated edition recalls the deeds of legendary managers such as Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, and Kenny Dalglish, and salutes the achievements of more recent bosses, Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez and the current incumbent Brendan Rodgers. It also celebrates the litany of players whose names are etched in Liverpool FC folklore: from Alex Raisbeck and Billy Liddell to Roger Hunt and Kevin Keegan; through Kenny Dalglish, Alan Hansen, and Graeme Souness, to the modern legends, Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard and young guns Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho, and Fabio Borini. This is a fascinating journey through almost 125 years of sporting heroics, incredible victories and tearful failures; stories triumph and tragedy; but, most of all, a tale of incredible passion and pride.
