A definitive history of Liverpool FC told through the 10 key football matches that have shaped the club

Jonathan Wilson has crafted a compellingly forensic analysis of Liverpool’s history through the ten key matches that have shaped the club’s fortunes – from the long-lost triumphs of manager Tom Watson and the 1977 European Cup triumph over Borussia Mönchengladbach, to the astonishing Champions League Final comeback against AC Milan, ‘The Miracle of Istanbul’, in 2005. Legendary players and managers such as Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley and Kenny Dalglish populate these pages, which highlight both their the genius and their flaws.

THE ANATOMY OF LIVERPOOL tells the story of a great club through a detailed examination of ten key matches looking, as a football history must, first and foremost at the football.

Reviews

This insightful, highly readable book attempts to map the evolution of the club through ten specific matches... Above all, The Anatomy of Liverpool is an engrossing account of a sporting institution forging its identity through the post-war years. Some of the detail is priceless too... Highly recommended.
