The Liverpool manager has revealed that he used the inspirational words of a Hillsborough campaigner this weekend to spur his side on to victory
Liverpool got an important yet nervy win yesterday in their charge for the Premier League title, and they needed to show plenty of resolve in a stressful situation after twice giving up a two goal lead to their hosts at Carrow Road.
According to Martin Lipton in The Mirror, the Liverpool boss said after the game that he’d used the words of Margaret Aspinall, whose son was a victim at the Hillsborough disaster and has campaigned for justice ever since, as inspiration for the team.
He told n The Mirror that the memorial service marking the 25th anniversary, which took place this week, had been hugely touching and “we used words from Margaret Aspinall, where she said, ‘Stress is difficult but also good because it gives you a determination to fight. Before the game we stuck those words on the wall. This is a club that is at one with those who fought to achieve their ultimate goal”.
