The resulting interviews, set against the historical backdrop of both the club and the city, deliver a rich portrait of life at Anfield during a decade when on-field frustrations were symptomatic of off-the-field mismanagement and ill-discipline. After the shock resignation of Dalglish and Men in White Suits: Liverpool Fc in the 1990s - the Players Stories Souness's ill-fated reign, the Reds u under the stewardship of Roy Evans u displayed a breathtaking style led by a supremely talented young group of British players whose names featured as regularly on the front pages of the tabloids as they did on the back. Yet despite their flaws, this was a rare group of individuals- mavericks, playboys, goal-scorers and luckless defenders. Wearing off-white Armani suits, their confident personalities were exemplified in their pre-match walk around Wembley before the FA Cup final a defeat to Manchester United. In stark contrast to the media-coached, on-message interviews given by today's top stars, the blunt, ribald and sometimes cutting recollections of the footballers featured in Men in White Suits provide a rare insight into this fascinating era in Liverpool's long and illustrious history.

Men in White Suits: Liverpool FC in the s - The Players' Stories by Simon Hughes - Cole's Books This is not the final verdict on Liverpool's relentless march to a first Premier League title. They are this reporter's words in the Liverpool Daily Post on Monday, 30 Apriltwo days after the Reds had secured their 18th league crown with a win over Queens Park Rangers at Anfield. It was the last time they would celebrate such a success for three decades. No-one, least of all those in Anfield's cramped old press box, would realise how different life would soon be for the newly crowned champions, managed by Kenny Dalglish and boasting iconic figures such as Alan Hansen, Ian Rush and John Barnes. The crowd was a less-than-capacity 37, It was a routine occurrence and reporting on this sort of occasion had also become a matter of course for a very young chief football writer covering Everton and Liverpool. There had been Everton's title win in Liverpool sealed a blistering triumph - fuelled by Barnes and Peter Beardsley - the following year. Then there was Michael Thomas' stoppage-time "it's up for grabs now" goal for Arsenal on a warm Friday night in May that denied hosts Liverpool the league and FA Cup double in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster. Everybody assumed was a resumption of normal service. Looking back now, it seems small cracks had appeared and we had started to notice them. But any shortcomings were disguised by an 18th English top-flight success. If anyone inside Anfield - or indeed outside - had suggested it would be 30 years before these celebratory scenes were replicated it would have been dismissed as fantasy. Winning titles helped feed Liverpool's soul. Little did they know how long they would be starved. The club have rarely been without hope in intervening years which have brought all the other major trophies - but, in a title context, it is the hope that has killed them. Men in White Suits: Liverpool Fc in the 1990s - the Players Stories even on the brink of this crowning achievement, when they stood just six points from their goal, the global coronavirus pandemic halted the season and added another three months to the waiting time, leaving the most pessimistic supporters fearing the season could be declared null and void. They could barely dare to dream - until now. It was the morning of Friday, February 22 when a phone call came through to the Daily Post sports desk from Liverpool's legendary secretary and later chief executive Peter Robinson, whose unsung, tireless contribution underpinned their successes. Hold the front as well. The guessing game began but few hit on the real reason for the sudden summons - Dalglish was resigning. The Scot, worn down by the burden of maintaining Liverpool's success while he and his wife Marina devoted themselves to helping supporters after the Hillsborough disaster at the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest inneeded time away. The man who had won three titles and an FA Cup as Men in White Suits: Liverpool Fc in the 1990s - the Players Stories manager was hardly leaving Liverpool in a state of disrepair. After all, they were still top of the league and had conducted a breathless Merseyside derby draw at Everton in the FA Cup less than 48 hours earlier. But this, we can now see, was a pivotal day in Liverpool history. Even before the advent of social media, the rumour mill was in full swing suggesting Dalglish had fallen out with the club's hierarchy or his players. Not one bit of it was remotely true. Indeed, so protective was he of Men in White Suits: Liverpool Fc in the 1990s - the Players Stories reputation and of those left behind, that even on one of the saddest days of his career, when the same Daily Post phone rang at about 5. It was an appointment greeted with unanimous approval from Liverpool fans. Souness was the decorated former captain who had transformed British football at Glasgow Rangers, winning trophies while reversing a time-honoured trend by luring England internationals like Terry Butcher, Gary Stevens, Trevor Steven and Chris Woods north of the border. Still short of his 38th birthday, he blew in like a hurricane - but, as he later admitted, the hurricane hit too hard and too fast.
