Looking forward to this; but there's absolutely no chance I'll still be awake after the game. Thank fuck for the big record button

BT Sport put up a 10 minute interview with Jurgen as part of this special.

Ah no, I can hear the BT Sports commentary now, just as Mane gets hacked down in the box “anyway, join us tonight for The Bootroom Boys, coming up on BT Sport 1”

[Lee909]

More redshite bias from the media

Fuck that I'm going to watch Howard's Way for the 1995th time

Did Jürgen say "the city is big enough for two clubs; the real one and the other one", or do I mishear it?

[aws]

That's how I heard it too but then I realised he must have said "red one". 

[Allan]

BT Sport have now also popped an interview with the King from the same special up on their YouTube channel.

I went to a reserve game against Newcastle at Anfield in 1984. My uncle was the manager and as me and my Dad were leaving we bumped into my uncle in the Main Stand car park. 

 

He had gone out to his car and seen us, I was 9 at the time and my uncle said "do you fancy a behind the scenes tour?". 

 

Didn't need to be asked twice, went in the dressing room which still hadn't been cleaned up (absolutelyreeked of deep heat), the physio room and down the steps under the Anfield sign. My uncle asked my Dad if he wanted a drink so we went into the Boot Room, possibly one of the smallest rooms in the ground. A couple of milk crates to sit on, loads of footy boots hanging up and a cupboard full of whisky. Also started laughing when there was a calendar with women with their tits out. 

 

A couple of the other backroom staff came in and Joe Fagan laughed and covered my eyes when he saw me looking at the calendar. He asked me what position I played in and at the time I wanted to be a goalie, he just told me to practice diving for low shots and get my angles right. 

 

Stayed about 20 minutes until my dad finished his whisky, they were talking about an away game with the first team and also saying European away trips were boring because no one went out and saw the place and just stayed in a room playing cards. 

 

My dad said I was unbelievably lucky as not even Ron Atkinson was allowed in there (but other managers were) and I should tell my mates in school the next day (none of them were arsed).

 

Always know that if I ever do the stadium tour or even meet all the players in the tunnel before a game it is never going to be better than that.

What about if you got a blowie off Linda?

That would probably do it to be honest.

As easy on the eye as Linda is, I think I’d rather have one of Jurgen’s hugs.

[DalyanPete]

Bit late for me with 4 efes to watch, will catch the highlights on GOT in the morning,

[Bjornebye]

Looking forward to this

Boot room or boob room?

[Tony Moanero]

I got the book for Christmas, the other year. It’s great.

 

[Bjornebye]

Brilliant this. 

[Josef Svejk]

The story ends in 1984? Come on. That's bollocks.

The booty room

[benwasmydog]

Ok documentary but nothing new with insights into the actual bootroom and the thinking behind it. Just seemed to me like another cobbling together of great moments in our history that has been done before. Not even interviews with opposition managers etc. Disappointed.

Yeah probably right, still great to watch even if it's rehashed how great we are. I was expecting more insight into the behind the scenes. Brilliant regardless. What sides we've had 

[Harry Squatter]

It was OK. Thought there would be more emphasis on the coaching, continuity and how Bob Paisley became such a successful manager having served for a long time in the backroom staff.

 

Still wheeled out Alan Kennedy and David Fairclough to tell us the stories we've heard for years. 

[lifetime fan]

Enjoyed that, could have been another hour long and I’d have still loved listening to all the old stories.

And stories we will never be tiring of listening too for years.
