In the first book by a British writer about this extraordinary football manager, lifelong Liverpool fan Anthony Quinn has crafted a uniquely revealing love-letter to Jürgen Klopp.
Anthony Quinn was born in Liverpool in 1964. From 1998 to 2013 he was the film critic for the Independent. He is the author of six novels: The Rescue Man, which won the 2009 Authors' Club Best First Novel Award; Half of the Human Race; The Streets, which was shortlisted for the 2013 Walter Scott Prize; Curtain Call, which was chosen for Waterstones and Mail on Sunday Book Clubs; Freya, a Radio 2 Book Club choice, and Eureka.
"Quinn's writing shows what immense capacity for care and love men
can have. Liverpool, the most un-English of all England's
footballing cities, legitimises love beyond reason, and as long as
that is true, books like this will be written: pages and pages of
love." -- New Statesman
"Both informative and emotive, there's plenty to sink your teeth
into in this distinctive look at a manager who has forged a
long-lasting legacy everywhere he has hung his hat." -- This is
Anfield
"The fact that Anthony Quinn is a Red and he shows enough passion
for the game and the club gives the book additional value... Can I
recommend it to other Liverpool fans? Yes, because it's interesting
and you won't be bored for a second. If you find it in your closest
bookstore, take the risk and spend a few pounds on it...Trust me,
there's no risk." -- LFC History Blog
"It's at once an elegiac memoir, reflection on fandom and the
meaning of success, as well as being a love letter to the great man
himself." -- Times
