I knew him from Scotland and I found him to be a real big head and you just don’t get away with being like that with me. The rest of my time at Liverpool was very uncomfortable.

For a fanbase that knows its FA Cup nights, its European epics and its roll-call of captains and managers by heart, the off-season quiet is lifting, and the anticipation that has defined so many Anfield summers is stirring once more.
