“When I used to play, the manager would tell us that you are as good as your last performance. That made all the players more hungry to finish strong.”
“I enjoyed 13 successful seasons at Anfield, becoming the most decorated goalkeeper in league history. But I believe the match-fixing scandal arose because the press did not like this person they perceived as arrogant and who had a reputation for clowning around in games.
