SUCCESS is often perceived to be a one-dimensional concept; you either succeed or you don’t, flourish or falter, win or lose. Take athletics, for example; you’re only successful if you’re the first to cross the finish line, be it in a 100m sprint, a 5x100m relay or a...
IF you’re a Liverpool fan in your 20s, it’s highly likely that Fernando Torres helped you fall in love with football. Loving footballers is a complicated thing. When I was growing up it was best confined to the bedrooms of teenagers, posters of their favourite stars...
AS my Nan might have said, thank Christ for that. It’s funny building up to these things these days. It’s strange being a part of other people’s stories. It’s fascinating meeting you in person and hearing how this impacts your life when we’re all just normal fans...

IN the bowels of Anfield, as the fans sung their hearts out and the world tried to come to terms with what they’d just seen, Jürgen Klopp looked at his watch and smiles. “It’s 10 past 10, most children are probably in bed… These boys are...
