How Dalglish, Souness, Rush and the gang drank their way to the treble - the most unlikely success story in football
Led by a 63-year old first-time manager and a captain show-off better known for his moves on the dancefloor, Liverpool's greatest season was a booze-fuelled journey to three trophies- the first division title, the League Cup and the European Cup, won on a remarkable night in Rome. The team's theme song was even the much-derided Chris Rea hit.
Eye-watering, hilarious, and utterly unbelievable, this is the story of how they did it, and how their season was the last year of innocence in English football.

Evans tells the story with gusto . . . the anecdotes are apt, and
the blood on the streets and the boots on the field are as dramatic
and black-humoured as on a battleground
