GERARD HOULLIER, who died on Monday aged 73, will be remembered across Europe for his football teachings, player development and man-management.
Nowhere is this more the case than at Liverpool FC, where his personable nature, love for the city and its football put him up there among the club’s greats.
Born in Therouanne in northern France in 1947, Houllier’s first job in Liverpool was as a teacher at Alsop Comprehensive School in 1969 through to 1970, not far from Stanley Park which separates the stadiums of Liverpool and Everton.
Liverpool had finished second to Don Revie’s Leeds United in 1969 but did qualify for the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup where they faced Dundalk in the first round.
