1977, When the Eternal City Turned Red is the definitive story of the famous night when Liverpool first lifted the European Cup. John Grant gets the inside track from legendary players, their families, their German opponents, the press and ordinary fans to tell the tale of an unforgettable night that was both a footballing and personal watershed. Ian Callaghan, Jimmy Case, David Fairclough, Howard Gayle, Kevin Keegan, Brian Kettle, Sammy Lee, Terry and Peter McDermott and 1974 World Cup winner Rainer Bonhof all offer their thoughtful reflections. The Paisley family share their memories of travelling to Rome with fellow supporters, and fondly recall their famous father – a man who, despite his monumental success, was never comfortable in the limelight. Nostalgic, moving, and at times funny, this evocative and informative account is a must-read for every Liverpool fan.
John Grant (PhD) has written for numerous journals and magazines. This is his exploration of Liverpool FC and their first European Cup triumph. His initial ‘dad and lad’ Anfield experiences were attending Central League reserve matches in the early 1970s, eventually graduating to the Kop when Liverpool reigned supreme. John is a season-ticket holder in the Sir Kenny Dalglish stand, from where he watches his team among many good friends.
