They were “only” 2,000 at Anfield on Wednesday but they made noise for 50,000.
On the occasion of the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Tottenham on Wednesday, Liverpool supporters gathered in the famous Kop paid a final tribute to Gérard Houllier.
In their own way, poignant and solemn.
Because there, in this city in the north of England, the French coach will forever remain as the one who propelled the return of the Reds to the forefront of the British scene between 1998 and 2004. So they gave voice to all those who, Covid-19 obliges, could not be present.
Be careful, thrills guaranteed.
