Gerard Houllier's personal touch, as much as his immense football acumen, marked him out as a special man and manager.
The Frenchman was the gaffer and the guiding hand as Liverpool achieved a unique treble of League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup – plus qualification for the Champions League – during a thrilling 2000-01 season.
Houllier, who was at the helm of the Reds from 1998 to 2004, sadly passed away last December at the age of 73.
As part of our ongoing series to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the treble campaign he masterminded, the players involved paid poignant individual tributes to the boss’ abilities, his impact on their careers, and his legacy at Anfield.
