Liverpool & the Boot Room

A small room at Anfield and some of the best football brains in Europe. The Boot Room series follows it over eight parts, from Shankly arriving at a struggling Second Division club to the years of Paisley and Fagan, when Liverpool became European royalty. Kenny Dalglish gets his due too, as Scotland’s icon and as the player-manager whose goal at Stamford Bridge in May 1986 won Liverpool the title. Ian Callaghan turns out to be far more than the answer to a pop quiz. Then there’s 1989, the all-Merseyside FA Cup final played five weeks after Hillsborough.
