[JurgenKlopp]

So sad. Great memories especially that treble cup season

 

[Markeh]

I thought he'd be around forever

 

[Dreambeliever]

Doh, didn’t see this.

Younger than fuckin Woy.

2001 was an unbelievable year.

RIP

 

[RedStar]

Sad news, a real football man. I'll never forget his return against Roma after heart surgery, that was a special night. He did so much to help turn the club arpund after we had lost our way a little bit

YNWA

Remember the dance around the living room in Enterprise Parade after McAllister's goal in the UEFA cup final?

Remember the dance around the living room in Enterprise Parade after McAllister's goal in the UEFA cup final?

How many beers did you have?

Gary Mac didn’t score in the final.

That was the first big memory.

Gary Mac didn’t score in the final.

Scored the pen and setup the golden goal

How many beers did you have?

Gary Mac didn’t score in the final.

He took the free kick

 

[Brizzle]

RIP to a great man who brought joy to millions. 2001 was an incredible ride and he built the foundations that took us to Istanbul.

 

[Bradley]

How many beers did you have?

Gary Mac didn’t score in the final.

Did he put in the free kick for the last goal.

 

[Athens]

How many beers did you have?

Gary Mac didn’t score in the final.

Was it not a deflection after his free kick? Also, he did score a goal.

RIP

 

[dee]

Wow - What shit news. He hasn't been a well man though so not a total surprise

RIP club legend

 

[dantes]

He was a bit like a parent, with the kids hating him, criticising and disagreeing with everything they do at the time, and then eventually realising they were right.

[gkmacca]

Very sad. He was a strange mixture - very suave and seemingly self-asssured, and yet he read absolutely everything about himself and took any criticism incredibly personally. There's no doubting how important he was for the club - he dragged it ito the 21st century, he made it more professional and, regardless of how it ended for his own reign, the success that followed has been in part because of the changes that he set in motion.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

 

[Squiggles]

Genuinely upsetting and horrible news.

He was the first manager who I saw success under and restored some pride in the club. Excellent manager and a true gent until the end. He laid the foundations for Benitez and all following managers for us to be a top club.

A man so obsessed with football and nearly killed him and certainly shortened his life.

He'll be missed.

 

[Hansern]

Very sad news, RIP Ged. 2001 was a fantastic year.

 

[Squiggles]

 

[Dreambeliever]

Scored the pen and setup the golden goal

Doh! Forgot the pen, remember Fowlers goal was the one I went nuts for and loved Gerrards.

 

[jimmy]

Sad sad new. [emoji26]

He modernized the club, and brought us much needed glory.

RIP Ged.
YNWA.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Did he put in the free kick for the last goal.

Ya he did, own goal, what a shit way to end a great final!

Got it in one, macca. I wished at the time that he'd been able to bring himself to leave earlier, as I was afraid the last knockings of his by then exhausted regime might adulterate his legacy, but all things considered there's no doubt in my mind that his LFC account will always be substantially in credit.

Gérard Houllier RIP.

 

[Mamma Mia]

I've felt genuine sadness about the passing of someone I've never met 5 times in my life.

This is one of those times.
