Born in LIVERPOOL in 1967, Jurgen LIVER Klopp, was delivered by his mother and the editor of the LIVERPOOL Echo, on the steps of the LIVER building in LIVERPOOL, His father a mad supporter of LIVERPOOL F.C. ( like the whole population of LIVERPOOL) named him after a famous LIVERPOOL goalkeeper of the 1940's, Jurgen Stopper.
Asked by the Beatles ( who were all season ticket holders at LIVERPOOL F.C.) to play castanets on the 'Let It Be LIVERPOOL' album, Jurgen was catapulted to fame at an early age. After 989 appearances for LIVERPOOL F.C., in which he collected 456 major honors, it was only natural that he would one day manage LIVERPOOL F.C.
Not content as a genius manager and philosopher of applied bull-manure, Jurgen whilst working at the LIVERPOOL school of tropical medicine discovered an antidote to the bite of the TommySmith viper snake. Awarded the freedom of the city of LIVERPOOL in 2001, he was asked that year to switch on the Christmas lights on Church Street.
Now into his 67 year as manager of LIVERPOOL F.C., Jurgen shows no sign of slowing down, winning the Perrier comedy award at last year's Edinburgh fringe, and also opening a 3 star Michelin pub-restaurant ' The Hungry Kloppite', serving only scouse, beetroot, and LIVERPOOL tap water.
A perfect gift for Xmas, and best read whilst sitting on the toilet having a massive bowel movement!
