Club Legend – Jürgen Klopp
There are some people that do not and will never understand certain football clubs. For proof of the pudding on that front, have a read about our page on Roy Hodgson. Conversely, there are some managers who very much do get the clubs that they work at. Pep Guardiola, for example, is an arrogant and […]
Read MoreClub Legend – Brendan Rodgers
Given the sheer number of phenomenal managers that have taken charge of Liverpool over the years, it seems somewhat false to refer to one that didn’t win anything as a ‘legend’. In the case of Brendan Rodgers, it is certainly true that he will be remembered much more fondly at the likes of Celtic and […]
Read MoreClub Legend? – Roy Hodgson
The series on Liverpool managers, along with other personalities that have been influential at the club over the years, has been entitled ‘Liverpool Legends’.

The 1950s were not a good decade for Liverpool Football Club. The decade began with an FA Cup final appearance, but things went down hill from there.

It is fair to say that there isn’t much love lost between Scousers and Mancunians. One exception to that rule might well be that of George Kay, who was born in Manchester but because Liverpool manager and led the Reds to the title during the first post-war season, as well as to the FA Cup […]

Born in Poulton-le-Fylde near Blackpool on the second of June 1867, although some times erroneously reported as having been born in Waterford, Ireland, David Ashworth was originally a well-known referee in the Football League.
