The untold story of the most contested fixture in world football ‘A must read.’ Henry Winter 'Superb.' Daniel Taylor Liverpool and Manchester. Two gloriously independent-minded, eclectic, culturally vibrant places. Yet the inhabitants dislike each other with a passion that is visceral. It is a divide that spans generations, across class, gender and ethnicity. And it has grown over the years, largely driven by one thing: football. The dark, malignant loathing shared by the followers of Liverpool and Manchester United has seeped into every aspect of life in the two cities. Football is not a barometer of disdain, as it is in places like Glasgow or Istanbul or Moscow. In northwest England, it is the engine of animosity. How did it come to this? Why did things turn so nasty? And what does it say about the two cities in which the clubs are based? Written by a Scouser and a Manc in a rare collaboration, Red on Red addresses the divide by talking to those involved in ten seminal football matches. It speaks to the characters who patrolled and provoked the rivalry: Alex Ferguson, Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard and Gary Neville, among many others. Also questioned are the fans, the administrators, the referees, the police, and politicians. And through each legendary game, its authors tell the full story of the most extraordinary division not just in football, but in modern Britain. This is Red on Red, a rivalry like no other.

Liverpool FC are Premier League winners and World football club champions and I'm just a wee guy from Glasgow living the dream. This is the inside story of an unrivalled period in the illustrious history of Liverpool Football Club as seen through my eyes. Taking you behind the scenes at Anfield and Melwood, I'll reveal how it all happened how doubters turned to believers and brought the league title home after a thirty-year wait. From the dressing room to the pitch, this is my story of our year to remember. Andrew Robertson was in the top five appearance makers for Liverpool in 2019/20, second only to Trent Alexander-Arnold in goal assists and the number of passes he made was bettered only by Virgil van Dijk. Liverpool won the league title with 99 points, the highest in the club's history. After winning the Champions League in 2019, Jurgen Klopp's men also claimed the UEFA Super Cup and, for the first time, the FIFA World Club Cup. Signed from Hull City for £8m in 2017, Robertson was named captain of his national side in 2018.
