Following the success of Simon Hughes' previous works, this book shifts focus to the 2000s, highlighting the key figures who restored Liverpool FC's prominence in European football. Featuring a foreword by Steven Gerrard, this third edition in a bestselling series draws from revealing interviews with former players, coaches, and managers. The new century began with modernization and trophy wins under Gérard Houllier, followed by an improbable Champions League triumph under Rafael Benítez. However, this success was overshadowed by turmoil, culminating in the club's near administration due to the mismanagement of American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett. Through interviews with notable figures like Jamie Carragher, Xabi Alonso, and Michael Owen, readers gain access to the inner workings of the club, from Melwood's training ground to the dressing room. These candid accounts offer deep insights into the exhilarating highs and painful lows, recounting victories in Cardiff and Istanbul alongside the political strife that plagued multiple managerial tenures. This book reveals the untold stories of those who experienced it all firsthand.
