Same for me. When he Roy Evans was manager that I got into it much more. Really sad news. RIP and all the best to his family and friends.

Made going to the match proper enjoyable again, after the dross of 98-2000.

Got to lift the FA Cup because of his Treble Team, Thanks Ged.

What a fella. Heartbroken by this, in all honesty. Laid the foundations for Rafa, and that team which he brought Gerrard, Carra and Owen into will live long in the memory.

Hope the select few inside Anfield on Wednesday give him a good send-off of "Allez Allez, Gerard Houllier".

Rest In Peace Ged

The man took us back to the top table and did it with great warmth, will be missed massively. Don’t mind admitting I had a little cry when this one came through.

Fuck this year

xbugawugax · « **Reply #334 on:** December 14, 2020, 01:11:42 pm »

YNWA Ged

almost literally gave his life for us. and for that he will always be remembered.

nothing much need to be said about how he brought us forward to modernize the club.

Rest well. and forever a legend.

Was very saddened to see this news this morning.

RIP Ged.

That week from beating Arsenal in Cardiff to Alaves 4 days later in Dortmund and then finishing it off at Charlton on the Sunday is pretty much impossible to top as a week, isn't it?
We've had great days, and of course great seasons since, but those 3 games in 8 days were just magical. A friend of mine went to Dortmund. I met up with him on the Friday night, and we was still quite shook. He thought that there was no chance of winning at Charlton if his body was a yardstick to go by

So many fond memories, the cup successes, the big match results (making wins at OT a regular occurance). RIP Ged.

The only time I've managed to watch a live match at Anfield was his last match in charge against Newcastle in 2004, which got us into the Champions League.

Very sad he has died so young.

Deeply saddened. Thanks for everything Ged, RIP

When you read some of the things being said about him...

It's bigger than him having won trophies for us. By the accounts of the people who knew him, he was the definition of a great man. A caring, wonderful person

Persephone · « **Reply #343 on:** December 14, 2020, 01:20:01 pm »

He helped rebuild this club and gave us back our pride, he was a true Red and by all accounts a wonderful man. Deepest condolences to his loved ones, he'll be forever remembered and honoured.

Rest in peace, Mr Houllier and thank you for the memories. YNWA

Going to cry when his song gets sung by the Kop Wednesday night

Been crying on and off all day since I heard. Was the team that cemented my son's love of us. I can't process the overwhelming grief I feel. Allez Boss x

Very sad news this. RIP Ged. Condolences to his family and friends.

Gutting news. Gave me the club I grew up with, back.

One of our greatest ever managers and those 12 months in 2001 will go down as one of the clubs greatest periods of football, this club of mine has ever seen. Throw in a Gary Mac free-kick and that moment he walked out against Roma, and these are the memories that sit right up there, with all the European Cups and League titles.

Thank you for everything Ged.

RIP YNWA

A devastated Kopite.

Wouldn't normally recommend anyone go anywhere near Talksport, or Jim White, or even Murphy - but a really nice little 5 minute piece from Murphy about Houllier today.

Really sad news.

He was the man who modernised LFC and laid the pre ground work for Istanbul

Sad that Gerard has died, but happy that he lived. He has his place in the storied history of Liverpool Football Club. Not many have that privilege. Cardiff and Dortmund are fitting epitaphs for the man.

RIP Boss.

Always a class act and deserving of all the accolades he's presently receiving.
