00:00 Let's just talk about his time at the club. You could argue maybe it's statue-worthy or to name a bit of the training ground after him or a road or something like that.
00:14 Liverpool are a club that really honour their legends and icons of the club. If you could think about three big moments of Jurgen Klopp's time, would you have any that stand out?
00:24 I think the first one for me, I'll be honest with you, is the Crystal Palace game in his first season when Liverpool got beat 2-0 and fans were walking out after 10 minutes to go.
00:40 Jurgen Klopp was turning around thinking, 'What is going on? Why are fans leaving?' He almost had to say to fans, 'This needs to stop now. This is a new Liverpool. You don't do that anymore. We've still got 10 minutes to play.'
00:53 I think that's when fans really started buying into what he wanted. Obviously, everyone knew the reputation he came in and what he'd done at Dortmund.
01:02 We had this 'I'm the normal one' press conference. It was nice, but I think he realised, 'If I'm going to turn things around, maybe I need to get everyone on board, including the fans.' Yes, it's on the players to give the fans something to cheer about, but when he's looking at that and the fans need to give the players a boost as well, he's looking and thinking, 'What's going on?'
01:25 That was a real size magnolia for me and maybe one that people might think about. Then, obviously, you're looking at the trophy wins at the Champions League in 2019, when he beat Tottenham after a devastating defeat against Real Madrid the year before.
01:39 Then, the Premier League title win in 2019/20, which unfortunately was behind closed doors because of the COVID pandemic. You've seen the scenes after it at Anfield.
01:54 He ended the 30-year wait for a league title, the first Premier League title, to beat Man City as far as they did. It was an absolutely monumental achievement. Those are definitely the three, but I'm sure there's many more that he could rattle off and many fans will have them.
