I used to stand on the Kop when I was here in 1969. The atmosphere and passion on the pitch as well as the terraces was intoxicating and Liverpool became part of me from that day on.

There are those who say maybe I should forget about football. Maybe I should forget about breathing.

Our job is to make the fans happy. When we win, 45,000 people go home happy. When we lose, it not only affects them, it affects their cats.

We don't destroy our heroes today when we worshipped them yesterday.

My philosophy is that the club is more important than anyone!

It is important for the club to find a balance in a world driven by economic and political needs. This club usually does that [on leaving Liverpool]
