    Praise for Jeff Goulding’s Books Red Odyssey: Liverpool FC 1892–2017 ‘This eminently readable and beguiling addition to the Liverpool FC story should adorn every Red’s bookshelf.’ Racing Post ‘Celebrates the club’s incredible journey, recounting tales and memories that tell of friendships, rivalries and of course trophies. He brings to life this pre-war era using his extensive knowledge of the club’s history tallied with reports in local media and club folklore. Provides a complete picture of Liverpool’s colourful history. Here’s looking forward to Red Odyssey part two.’ It’s Round and It’s White ‘A history of Liverpool, but one written in an affectionate way, and from a personal perspective. Particularly informative on the pre-Bill Shankly years, which are much less well documented than the subsequent decades.’ Backpass Magazine We Conquered All of Europe: Red Odyssey II ‘We Conquered All of Europe brings things back to life. Although you know the ending you will still get that funny feeling as you go through this account of what was a wonderful season and how the past four years under Jürgen and company have seen Liverpool Football Club rise again.’ Red All Over the Land ‘Excellent as always. I’d highly recommend it.’ Dave Usher, The Liverpool Way ‘We Conquered All of Europe provides a unique first-hand view from around the stands, from not only Jeff but a plethora of supporters who you discover each find varying degrees of significance in moments which have transpired over the last four years. It’s a journey from the stands, grounded in emotion – with a touch of humour – which is then delicately intertwined with statements from the media and Klopp at the time, with views from former players Jamie Carragher, Jimmy Case and John Barnes also adding another valuable perspective.

Held every two years, the UEFA European Under-21 Championship consists of a qualifying group stage, play-offs and, from 2021, a 16-team final tournament. Qualifying is open to all UEFA member associations. For the 2021 edition, teams initially competed in a qualifying group stage, with the nine section winners and best runner-up originally joining co-hosts Hungary and Slovenia in the finals. The other eight runners-up were to compete in play-offs for the four remaining places; however, these were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and, instead, the five best runners-up joined the group winners and co-hosts in the finals. The final tournament, expanded to 16 teams for the first time from 2021, consists of four groups of four. Sides play each other once, with the four group winners and four runners-up reaching the quarter-finals. There will be a standard knockout format from there. For 2021, because of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the football calendar, the group stage (March) and knockout phase (May/June) will be split.
