Klopp's Last Stand
Jeff Goulding's Red Odyssey, an epic chronicle of Liverpool FC's history, continues with more tales of drama and joy, heroes and villains, victors and vanquished.
In 2020, Klopp's Reds captured the club's first league title in 30 years, completing a remarkable treble of domestic, European and world honours. Jurgen's Last Stand: Red Odyssey IV is the story of what came next, reliving how Jürgen came agonisingly close to a clean sweep of all available honours in 2022 before carrying off a domestic cup double.
Goulding treats us to a supporter's-eye view of the drama in Paris, which is emotively contrasted with a glorious homecoming that enveloped the team and the city of Liverpool in a blanket of solidarity and celebration.
Finally, as a tired Klopp battles to build Liverpool 2.0, supporters are rocked by his decision to step down at the end of the 2023/24 campaign, before their passionate response propels him and the club through yet another historic season. The Red Odyssey series is the ultimate people's history of one of football's most iconic clubs.
Jurgen's Last Stand: Red Odyssey IV is Jeff Goulding's seventh book. An established and respected unofficial Liverpool FC historian, Goulding is also a feature writer for This is Anfield and has written for These Football Times both online and for their popular magazine series. A Kop season-ticket holder, he has followed the Reds for 50 years. He lives in the city of his birth, Liverpool, with his wife and children.
