Opis

Frank Gamble came from a family of Evertonians but as is often the way in Liverpool he found his way to Anfield as a boy and fell in love with the Reds. Like most fans he followed the team when he could until in 1979 he saw an advertisement in the local paper which said: 'Liverpool Football Club invite invitations for the position of Lottery Sales Manager to work for the Development Association'.. Frank applied and, despite wearing a pale green double breasted suit and lime green tie for the interview, got the job. He stayed for ten years as Liverpool dominated English football. With Frank in the development office they won the First Division six times, the FA Cup twice, the League Cup four times and the European Cup twice. It wasn't all success, though. In 1985 Frank led an official supporters party to Brussels to watch the European Cup final with Juventus. The result was horror in the Heysel Stadium as 39 fans, mostly Italians, lost their lives. As Frank writes: 'I was heavily involved in the build up to Heysel and witnessed firsthand the aftermath and results of those morons that led the charge into the neutral zone Z and it has haunted me ever since so Christ knows what the families of the dead have gone through.' Frank also remembers the build up to another tragedy - the Hillsborough disaster - looking out in 1988 at the Liverpool fans in the Leppings Lane end and thinking how crushed they were. By January 1989 Frank had left after a row. He was cleaning his car when he heard about the tragedy in which 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives. The book is about triumph and tragedy. Frank shows the human side of the men who became legends.
