What a wait it's been for one of the biggest clubs in the world - 30 years between titles. Last time they won it, before it was even the Premier League, Kenny Dalglish was the manager, Alan Hansen lifted the trophy, and the squad was packed with legends from my childhood - Grobelaar, Barnes, Molby, Beardsley, Aldridge, Rush.
There's no question that Liverpool are a special club. It's hard to say exactly why, but they just are. Perhaps it's the loyalty of the supporters and the famous Kop. Perhaps it's the desperate sadness and tragedies they've been through as a club, and how they've shown great loyalty to each other trough the dark times. Perhaps it's the tingling feeling you get when you hear several thousand singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' at the top of their lungs. Then again, maybe it's an age thing. When I was growing up, Liverpool were it. In the period from 1982 to 1990, Liverpool won the First Division six times and were runners up the other three. Now that they've won it again for the first time, and by a huge margin (and somehow, irrespective of club loyalties, I couldn't be happier for them) I wonder what this group can go on and achieve?
