Klopp's Last Stand

"In Klopp's Last Stand, Jeff Goulding magnificently captures the emotional highs and lows, spectacular successes and glorious failures of the final few chapters of the Klopp era. But this is not just about players, managers, matches and score lines. Goulding skilfully weaves a compelling narrative, with the city, its people and Goulding himself, at the heart of this story. Exhilarating, informative and as romantic as the club itself Klopp's Last Stand is essential reading for anyone interested in the story of a city, its people and the man who made them happy."

"This book is tremendous. I cried reading about the 2024 Carabao Cup final and I cried again reading about Klopp's farewell. I can't remember the last time I cried reading a book. I can't think of a higher compliment. I couldn't go to either game, I watched both on TV. So, something in Jeff’s description of his experience, of being there, and his recall, touched something in me. Thanks to him for writing it."

"There's something to be said about experiencing events through another’s lens when you've already lived it through your own, and Jeff does a marvellous job at taking you along the journey with humour, emotion and honesty. There is so much packed into 286 pages and it leaves you wanting more. This club inspires so many great stories and is interwoven in so many of our lives, and Klopp's Last Stand encapsulates just that."

"This is a magnificent book. Jeff has managed to fuse together his own personalized experience of the endgame of the Jurgen Klopp era at Liverpool with all the footballing insight that has become his calling card as an author. He's like the Milk Tray man, but the gift is words rather than chocolate."

"And I can take this opportunity to emphasise the importance of Jeff’s work, so much so, that we will reference his work alongside that of the likes of Stephen F Kelly. Jeff’s influence on aspiring writers cannot be underestimated, with this book adding to that repertoire."

"An Essential Chronicle, Klopp's Last Stand is exhilarating, honest, and deeply emotional. It successfully fuses the author's personal experience as a 50-year season-ticket holder with the major events of the era. It’s not just a record of matches and medals; it's an exploration of why this particular manager meant so much to this particular city and its diverse fanbase. For any supporter who wants to relive the final, turbulent, and ultimately glorious chapters of the Klopp era – and understand the profound connection he forged with the Liverpool people – this book is essential reading. It is a heartfelt reminder that the club's greatest victories are always those fought for together, as one."

"Klopp's Last Stand: Red Odyssey IV is an absolute must for all LFC fans. Brilliantly written by a true Red who knows the score, Jeff Goulding tells the tale of how modern day Bill Shankly, Jürgen Klopp, turned Liverpool FC back into a real force to be reckoned with and why his legacy will live with the club forever. This book is an absolute must-read, once you start reading you won't be able to put the book down. If you haven't got a copy yet make sure you do in time for Christmas."
