This official Liverpool FC publication celebrates 50 of the greatest goals witnessed in the Reds' fantastic history Ian Rush, Roger Hunt, Billy Liddell, Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard, John Barnes, Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez, Kevin Keegan. . . the list goes on. Liverpool Football Club has been blessed with some truly great players during its 120-year history, all of whom have scored some fabulous goals. The 50 greatest goals witnessed at Anfield, and beyond, have been selected from throughout the Club's history. Few clubs in the world can match Liverpool FC's record of 18 League Championships, seven FA Cups, eight Football League Cups, three UEFA Cups, and five prestigious European Cups, plus the UEFA Super Cup and many FA Charity/Community Shields. The goals have been arranged chronologically so the reader can rate his or her own favorites. Each entry features a description of the goal, both in terms of the build up play, the wider context of the match, and its place in history. And every entry features at least one photograph of the goal in question, which will bring back great memories for those who were there and bring the goal vividly to life for those who weren't. Among the 50 chosen goals are superb team goals, such as Kevin Keegan's in the 1974 FA Cup final against Newcastle United, dynamic breakaway goals like Terry McDermott's header against Tottenham Hotspur in 1978 (rated by Bob Paisley, at the time, as probably the best in Liverpool's history), fabulous strikes such as Steven Gerrard's against Manchester United in 2001, and wonderful solo efforts like John Barnes' against Queens Park Rangers in 1987 and Steve McManaman's against Celtic in 1997. There are even a few goals from Liverpool's earlier history, such as the first of the 215 goals Billy Liddell scored for the Reds (against Chester in January 1946), and the debut goal of one of Liverpool's most prolific goal scorers, Roger Hunt (against Scunthorpe United in September 1959).

Liverpool was once one of the greatest cities in the British empire but it no longer feels like it is in England, if it ever did. It had retreated as a significant port after the Second World War and by 1979, it was already on the brink. What it needed was support but instead, a Conservative Party with aggressive new ideas allowed it to slide. Thirty-years after the Toxteth Riots, classified government papers revealed that the prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, was urged to abandon the city and embark on a programme of 'managed decline'. Why did Liverpool's fortunes change so dramatically? Why did it fight back when other cities did not? This is the untold story of what it was like for Liverpool's people and how the period defines who they are.

Following the success of Simon Hughes’ Red Machine and Men in White Suits, books which depicted Liverpool FC’s domination during the 1980s and its subsequent fall in the 1990s, Ring of Fire focuses on the 2000s and the primary characters who propelled Liverpool to the forefront of European football once again. With a foreword by Steven Gerrard, this is the third edition in a bestselling series based on revealing interviews with former players, coaches and managers. For Liverpool FC, entry into the 21st century began with modernisation and trophies under manager Gérard Houllier and development was then underpinned by improbable Champions League glory under Rafael Benítez. Yet that is only half of the story. The decade ended with the club being on the verge of administration after the shambolic reign of American owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett. In Ring of Fire, Hughes’ interviewees – including Jamie Carragher, Xabi Alonso and Michael Owen – take you through Melwood’s training ground gates and into the inner sanctum, the Liverpool dressing room. Each person delivers fascinating insights into the minds of the players, coaches and boardroom members as they talk frankly about exhilarating highs and excruciating lows, from winning cups in Cardiff and Istanbul to the political infighting that undermined a succession of managerial reigns. Ring of Fire tells the real stories: those never told before by the key players who lived through it all.

There have been football books which have told their tale through the partisan heart of a besotted fan, and those that dissected their subject through the scientific mind of an objective writer. But rarely does one fuse the blind passion of a lifelong supporter with the cold eye of an award-winning journalist in the way 43 Years With The Same Bird does. That bird is the Liver Bird, and on the surface, this book is a pitch-side view of the entire modern era of Britain's most successful football club. It is Brian Reade's take on the extraordinary stories behind the 48 trophies he has seen Liverpool lift since watching them en route to their first-ever FA Cup win in 1965, right through to the Champions League defeat in Athens in 2007. It takes in all of the big nights that propelled the club to five European Cups, three UEFA Cups, 12 titles, countless domestic cup triumphs, bitter failures, the tragic disasters in Sheffield and Brussels, as well as the barren years of the late 60s and the 90s. But the book goes far deeper than that. It's about how football allowed a father who was separated from his son to forge a precious bond. How a football club can make a city that is dying on its knees keep believing in itself. How you should never, as a professional, get too close to your heroes. How being part of a disaster at a football match (Hillsborough) can leave you a mental wreck, unwilling to carry on, but how witnessing a miracle on a football pitch (Istanbul) makes you realise that no matter how low you sink, you should never give in.
