LAST season ended badly, writes NEIL POOLE of the We Are Liverpool fanzine. Very badly. It seemed like the manager was sinking with along with his team. Yet FSG have given Brendan Rodgers a second chance. Something that — in the modern game at least —...
THE term ‘legend’ is one bandied around all too readily in the modern game but Roger Hunt, who is 77 today, is a player truly worthy of the mantle. Sir Roger, as he was affectionately christened by The Kop, still has a burning passion for football. When we meet in a...
