12 hours agoNot Jurgen Klopp: John Barnes picks the former Liverpool manager he'd most liked to have played under
John Barnes prefers Bill Shankly over Jurgen Klopp as a manager he would have liked to play under.
Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that. Inevitably, Shankly pops up in Home Ground, a punchy new exhibition on the architecture and social culture of football stadiums. The legendary manager is pictured savouring the acclaim of an adoring crowd, part of a tableau on the farewell to the Kop prior to its metamorphosis from churning tribal terrace into a more sedate, all-seater stand.
