ISBN: Publication: 5 October Never before have so many Anfield legends opened up so freely about their personal lives in print. In Liverpool Captains, R. The themes of identity, motivation, teamwork and loyalty are consistent but Ansnes analyses how the role of the captain has changed over the last 55 years since the appointment of Ron Yeats by Bill Shankly. We meet Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and other former captains such as Paul Ince whose story involves an improbable rise from abandoned child to captain of club and country. An author of two Liverpool books, Ansnes spent three years travelling across Europe getting to know the legends. The outcome is a revealing portrait of life at Anfield, showing sides of players you have never seen Liverpool Captains: A Journey of Leadership from the Pitch.

Liverpool Captains: A Journey of Leadership from the Pitch – Stanchion The Liverpool captaincy is defined by the men who have worn the famous armband. They were all hard men. Hard men with a will to win that inspired their teammates and dragged them over the line when the going got tough. It is not a coincidence that they have been the men who have led Liverpool on their greatest nights. So much so that the burden of captaincy can often weigh players down. There remains a fragility to the role, which is a side that, until now, we have rarely been allowed a glimpse. In a book published this week, Norwegian football writer Ragnhild Ansnes has delved deeper than anyone has before into the lives of the men who led Liverpool. In different ways, different players express themselves as captain. On the pitch they were both strong, physically intimidating men. Yet, their captaincy styles were different. In her book, Ansnes recounts the time where Smith furiously shouted at Steve Heighway for laughing on the coach home from an unacceptable defeat at Arsenal. Yeats and Smith came from a different era of football. Ansnes admits that she may have captured the final interviews with the great men, such is their deteriorating condition. Thompson, having grown up on The Kop watching great leaders such as Ian Callaghan, Yeats and Smith talk their way through a game, believed that communication was the most important matter for a captain. Souness took over and few months later, having been 12th on Boxing Day, Liverpool won the league. Instead, there was something born inside Souness that made him such a successful leader. He was brave and aggressive, but the captaincy never bothered him. Later in the book, John Barnes states that Liverpool in their heyday would have won trophies regardless of their captain. Perhaps this was because Liverpool in the 70s and 80s had so many characters and leaders in the team and therefore had more than one captain in the side. With the Finn in defence, Redknapp in midfield and Fowler upfront, Liverpool under Houllier had leaders all over the pitch. Two seasons later however, after Redknapp and Fowler had departed the club, Hyypia found himself as the sole captain of the club. Gerrard was the quintessential Liverpool captain. He led and inspired his side countless times in his 12 years as skipper but behind him, Gerrard had a vice captain in Jamie Carragher, who himself would captain the side over Liverpool Captains: A Journey of Leadership from the Pitch times. Carragher was the organiser and the communicator, Gerrard would lead by example. Liverpool Captains shows that there are many different ways of leading a team. Liverpool have had aggressive captains but have also been led by calm heads. Liverpool have been led by hard defenders but also by silky Liverpool Captains: A Journey of Leadership from the Pitch. It would be unfair to compare Henderson Liverpool Captains: A Journey of Leadership from the Pitch any other Liverpool captain. Yeats, Smith and Souness were regarded as brave men, but there are different types of bravery in football. Bravery, for Jordan Henderson, is continuing to show for the ball when your future at the club is under scrutiny. Bravery is continuing to Liverpool Captains: A Journey of Leadership from the Pitch to what your manager wants you to do, even after coming under criticism for your performance in a defeat at Burnley. Liverpool teams in the past were full with leaders, so much so that Liverpool had more than one captain on the pitch. Would you be able to say that now? Liverpool Captains: A Journey of Leadership from the Pitch this is a problem which is systemic throughout football. Arsenal are often criticised for lacking the characters that existed in their Invincibles side. The 26 year old had endured a frustrating first season as Liverpool captain, which saw him miss most of the season and the Liverpool Captains: A Journey of Leadership from the Pitch League final due to a reoccurring heel injury. A stunning goal away to Chelsea illustrated his confidence and soon after Henderson was awarded with the England captaincy for their World Cup qualifier against Slovenia. A running theme in Liverpool Captains is that a lot of the players have overcome difficult starts to their lives or careers in order to become greats. Whether he becomes a great, worthy of a place in this book, is yet to be seen. Pics: David Rawcliffe-Propaganda Photo. You can vote for us here. The amount of people I come across who expect the captain to be a Gerrard clone amazes me. The likelihood that Liverpool will ever produce another Gerrard is remote due to the changing nature of football, what we need is a captain that fits Liverpool as it is today, not a decade ago. In Henderson we have a player with vision, who constantly communicates and has plenty of energy. These are surely the kind of qualities that would make any player captain material. In their search for a direct Gerrard replacement many Henderson critics are overlooking one of the best candidates we have in the squad for a player most suited to be a modern-day Liverpool captain. I read this book a few months ago in Norwegian. It is a very interesting rad, as with the two previous books ms. Ansnes has written. I can only recommend it wholeheartedly. And it is mrs. Ansnes, not ms. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. SJB on 20 October at am. SturlaS on 20 October at am.

He could have remained silent because the example he was setting on the training pitch and in games was so powerful that words were no longer required. He was putting in nine and 10 out of 10 performances every single game and we Liverpool Captains: A Journey of Leadership from the Pitch responded to that. But he deserved to be judged fairly and on his own merits rather than constantly being compared to a Liverpool legend. It was only when everybody started seeing Jordan Henderson as Jordan Henderson — not as the guy who had taken over the captaincy from Steven Gerrard — that this started to happen. Nobody will replace Stevie as a Liverpool player given everything he achieved and what he stood for, but Hendo is now established as another winning Liverpool captain and deservedly gets the respect that goes with that status. This is clear now, for fans and for the team - Jordan Henderson has carved his own niche.

  • Football's Greatest Rivalries
    Andy Mitten Mad for it: From Blackpool to Barcelona: Football’s Greatest Rivalries «HarperCollins» Mitten A. Mad for it: From Blackpool to Barcelona: Football’s Greatest Rivalries / A. Mitten — «HarperCollins», A celebration of the classic football derby matches. From the Celtic–Rangers rivalry and Tyneside derby to the biggest global clashes from Barcelona to Buenos Aires, journalist Andy Mitten uses the fans' own words and stories to illuminate the conflicts, tensions, histories and culture behind these fascinating games.From Belfast to Barcelona, Buenos Aires to Bogotá, these are football matches that are far more than a game.Often a microcosm of life in a city, there are countless rivalries between clubs which are steeped in a historical enmity based on class, religion, politics, envy or philosophy. Some of the games, like Rangers v Celtic, are renowned for their vocal sectarianism, others like Tenerife v Las Palmas for their eclectic fan base, while little or nothing is known about the derbies in Cairo and Calcutta which attracts twice as many fans as any Old Firm clash.Andy Mitten journeys across the UK and the far-flung regions of planet football, talking to a host of passionate fans – from the vividly ordinary, working-class supporters to the corporate box brigade who think nothing of hopping on a plane for their weekend jaunt to the exotic cities of Madrid, Barcelona or Milan – and gets to share their highs and lows. This in turn provides a fresh and revealing insight into the people who make these matches matter – the fans – using their own words and stories to illuminate the conflicts, tension and histories behind the games.
