This Liverpool side is awe-inspiring
I’ve supported Liverpool since before I can remember (1991ish). Since then, there’s been McManaman at Wembley, Owen in Cardiff, Murphy in Manchester, Jerzy in Istanbul, Trent by a corner flag, and countless other moments of joy. Winning the league? The ultimate. The peak.
