Not Even in Brazil: Liverpool in 1987/88

by Jonathon Aspey

Overview

The rip-roaring story of one of the greatest teams in both Liverpool FC and British football history – a side whose superb style of play Sir Tom Finney believed couldn’t be bettered, ‘not even in Brazil’.

Under the stewardship of ‘The King’ Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool strode to the league title with a side featuring such legends as John Barnes, Peter Beardsley and John Aldridge, playing a style of football never forgotten by those lucky enough to witness it.

This riveting book features:

• An exciting and immersive account of the legendary 1987/88 Liverpool FC season
• Fan recollections of that extraordinary season and team
• Skilful storytelling centred around the matches that mattered
• Detailed descriptions of the season’s incredible games, glorious goals and brilliant players, all of whom remain in the hearts of the Kop to this day
• A celebration and discussion of the brilliance of Barnes, Beardsley and Aldridge
• A homage to Kenny Dalglish’s masterful role in leading the side
• Eye-catching photos showcasing many major events from that famous season

This book charts the building of that magnificent side – a side that deserves its place, alongside Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ and both Manchester treble-winners, as one of the greatest in English football history. A must-read for all Liverpool fans.
