in some ways now and you just can't quite believe if you're watching Premier League football now and the information but you still feel that someone I always think of a manager in that situation it's not just about going down it's about maybe results at other grounds maybe on that last day that really mean everything and things are final and not having some sort of

I mean, we had your dad on yesterday and we were talking about the situation when Blackburn were going for the title and it's someone behind them from TV actually tells them the score.

Now, a lot of people say, oh, you shouldn't be distracted about what's going on elsewhere.

But I think if I was ever in that position, I'd rather know, certainly not after 20 minutes, but certainly in the second half, I'd like to know what the situation was elsewhere and see if that could affect me in my game.

Obviously, Alan Ball didn't get that information.

Niall Quinn did.

Yeah, I mean, probably the best end of the season for us.

Gary's talking about a week about losing the double.

On the other side of that, we had a week of, in 2001, was probably the best end of the season for us.

We almost had three cup finals in a week.

And then we had the FA Cup final on the Saturday.

I think we went to Dortmund and won the UEFA Cup on the Wednesday.

And then we had to go to Charlton on the Sunday, which was to qualify for the Champions League.

But it was the first time Liverpool would have been in the Champions League.

And I think there was an opportunity a few years before where we lost away at Sheffield Wednesday when I was a young player.

And I don't think the club or even the players realised that

or anyone did really how big the Champions League was going to become and how much an opportunity it was lost but Gerard Hulet was adamant in that week the most important thing was the game of Charlton not the two trophies because he knew the revenue that brought in the prestige it brought in it would take us to another level and bring better players in also for us as players we were just desperate to win the trophies and if we won a Charlton great yes but now when you realise the way football has become and how big the Champions League has become it was a massive week for us really and

We just hung on.

We had a really long season.

We played 63 games.
