RIP Gerard Houllier

[Shaggy]

This was probably the best experience I ever had at Anfield. I wasn't there for the Chelsea CL semi so I'd say this was the loudest I've ever felt it.

Could cry thinking about it. When he emerged from the tunnel the ground went nuts. Nobody knew it was coming, and he just turned up. A night I will never forget.

Rip Gérard. One of the greats.

So sad. He turned the club around after the Spice Boys era and (with Thommo) laid the foundations for Rafa to build on. 2001 was probably my favourite year as a fan, being at all three finals in Cardiff and Dortmund. I often wonder how things would have turned out if he hadn't had his heart problem and made a mess of the following summer signings. RIP Gerard YNWA.

A legend! So sad. RIP Gerard

[Fosterbloke]

Holy crap, rip.

Was it Covid related?

Good point that. Had he kept Anelka instead of getting Diouf, things might have been different. The other players he brought in, Cheyrou and a few of the other guys, were highly rated in France at the time and never managed to get going over here.

Holy crap, rip.

He had recurrent heart issues I think.
