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 Liverpool 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. What will happen next, we don’t know, for now, but the architect of the club’s great resurgence – including their 2019 Uefa Champions League win – has been Jurgen Klopp. In his personal love-letter to the man, Anthony Quinn, journalist, novelist, Scouser, and life-long Liverpool fan, has written an inspiring, affectionate, and hugely revealing portrait of this incredible German manager, who had performed a similar job at his previous club Borussia Dortmund, where he is still idolised despite his departure.
