THE first time I visited Liverpool, I was 10 years old. My first game at Anfield saw Liverpool pump West Ham 6-0. My dad was pleased. Every time Kenny Dalglish came near the Anny Road end he’d pull out his camera and snap him. I remember feeling starstruck. Ian Rush...
ANDY Robertson has had a lot of media attention in the last few weeks. After first hearing The Kop singing his name against Manchester City, he’s been the go-to story for most writers and media commentators covering Liverpool. Jürgen Klopp gets a fresh question on him...
