Liverpool Heavy Book By Ex-Liverpool Player

Too much Liverpool and England. Laughable that England v Germany is here.
Are these the greatest games ever played? No, no they are not!

Excellent insight to some iconic games

The narrator was a bit droning/dull but the content was good so although i drifted every now and then i was intrigued enough to rewind and relisten.

Some games i rewatched as i was amazed id missed it at the time but carragher was always right with his analysis.

Quality analysis of epic games

Really enjoyed carragher unpick some of the myths that come out of epic results, and some of the insightful analysis and discussion around the history of the teams and games is brilliant. Definitely worth a read for any football fan

More Jamie

Excellent football book

An absolutely enjoyable listen from start to finish. Added information on games I knew about and introduced me in an enjoyable way to those I didn't.

Brilliant

First ever audible book and it was fantastic loved every minute of it. Highly recommend

Just like the podcast absolute boss!

Great book and well worth a listen if you like that podcast he has under the same name, good in-depth analysis on all matches and being a red is especially enjoyable hearing about some of my personal favourite games

Enjoyed analysis with some personal reveals

Enjoyable analysis of recent and not so recent. Interesting new perspectives on some of them.

Exceptional

In the partisan sports world... There are many reasons I admire Carragher; many reasons others may not.

Forget all of it; this is an exceptional book and audiobook.

It is rare to find a new sports book with an interesting angle, I love analysis, reading about teams, success, tactics, personalities, athletes and coaches.

This is something else, all areas covered but with a beautiful turn of phrase and fantastic insight and emotion.

Definitely recommend
