UPDATED WITH A NEW FAREWELL CHAPTER

'A love letter to the great man himself.' The Times

'Immensely readable.' Observer

'Delightful.' Mail on Sunday

'Highly enjoyable.' Guardian

'Informative and emotive.' This Is Anfield

In the first book by a British writer about this extraordinary football manager, lifelong Liverpool fan Anthony Quinn has crafted a memorable love letter to JΓΌrgen Klopp. Taking in all the drama of LFC's disrupted, but ultimately triumphant, 2019-20 season, it offers unique insight into one of football's most charismatic figures.

'Klopp isn't just for Liverpool, Quinn writes in his final pages. He is for all of us. I reckon this book can be too.' Hannah Jane Parkinson, Observer

'Klopp has worked his way into Liverpool's big sentimental heart like a German love bomb. And Quinn couldn't resist writing an ode, an unabashed fan's note: to Klopp and his boyhood city and the ghost of Shankly.' Irish Times
