By the Book: Shanks, Yanks & Jurgen (and Bob)

We take a trip to Anfield with sports pundit Bob Holmes, who joins us to talk about his new book, “Shanks, Yanks & Jurgen”. True to its title, the book traces the history of Liverpool FC from its early days under the late Bill Shankley to the current revival with Jurgen Klopp - and Bob even shares his favourite quotes and anecdotes of Shanks. We wrap things up with a discussion on our favourite sports books.
