Book Synopsis
In the first book by a British writer about this extraordinary football manager, lifelong Liverpool fan Anthony Quinn has crafted a uniquely revealing love-letter to Jürgen Klopp. In early March 2020 Liverpool were two wins away from an extraordinary achievement, on course for their first league title win in 30 years - since the heads days of Kenny Dalglish - and likely to seal it in the Merseyside derby against their great rivals Everton. And all this an incredible two months before the season was due to end. Then, as we all know, the season was postponed... The architect of the club's great resurgence - including their 2019 UEFA Champions League win - has been Jürgen Klopp. In his personal love-letter to the man, Anthony Quinn, journalist, novelist and life-long Liverpool fan, has written an inspiring and affectionate portrait of the incredible German manager, who came to Liverpool in late 2015, with a growing reputation from his successes at Borussia Dortmund. Closely following the three month break, as well as the club's title-clinching return, Quinn offers a uniquely revealing and personal take on this long-awaited triumph.Review Quotes
"Quinn's writing shows what immense capacity for care and love men can have. Liverpool, the most un-English of all England's footballing cities, legitimises love beyond reason, and as long as that is true, books like this will be written: pages and pages of love." -- New Statesman
"Both informative and emotive, there's plenty to sink your teeth into in this distinctive look at a manager who has forged a long-lasting legacy everywhere he has hung his hat." -- This is Anfield
"The fact that Anthony Quinn is a Red and he shows enough passion for the game and the club gives the book additional value... Can I recommend it to other Liverpool fans? Yes, because it's interesting and you won't be bored for a second. If you find it in your closest bookstore, take the risk and spend a few pounds on it...Trust me, there's no risk." -- LFC History Blog
"It's at once an elegiac memoir, reflection on fandom and the meaning of success, as well as being a love letter to the great man himself." -- Times
