Red Machine

Product Description

During the 1980's, Liverpool FC dominated English football, winning six league titles, two European Cups, two FA Cups & four League Cups. In Red Machine, Simon Hughes interviews some of the most colourful characters to have played for the club during that period. Set against the historical backdrop of both the club & the city, these candid interviews provide a vivid portrait of life at Liverpool during an era when he clubs unparalleled on-pitch success often went h&-in-hand with a boozy social scene fraught with rows, fights & wind-ups. The players featured here include John Barnes, Bruce Grobbelaar, Howard Gayle, Michael Robinson, John Wark, Kevin Sheedy, Nigel Spackman, Steve Staunton, David Hodgson & Craig Johnston, as well as first-team coach Ronnie Moran. Their candid, ribald & sometimes scathing recollections provide an antidote to the media-coached, on-message interviews given by today's players & offer a unique & fascinating insight into the greatest era in the club's history.
