Download or read book Official Little Book of Liverpool FC written by Geoff Tibballs and published by Carlton Books. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liverpool's place in English football's hierarchy is recognized around the world, and almost every high-profile star on the move gets linked with the Anfield club. Under manager Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool remain the benchmark for success at home and abroad. Title No. 19 remains the Holy Grail, but cup success is a common theme, including the record-setting eighth League Cup success in 2012. No British club is close to matching Liverpool's eight cup victories in Europe, and eight wins in the FA Cup two remains a strong possibility. From Alan Hansen and Graeme Souness, through Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, and Jamie Redknapp, to recently retired legends Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard, few clubs can boast as many people with so much to say for themselves, especially in the case of ex-manager Bill Shankly, soccer's most quoted man.
