A genuinely nice man who understood the club and what it means to the fans. That 2001 season was incredible for the amount of drama it produced.
RIP.

Always came across as a gent. Never knew that he was a teacher in Liverpool long before he became their manager.
RIP

I know. I read it just now. Houllier saved the club by updating their style of play, bringing in more talented foreigners and getting rid of very average players. As a Liverpool fan, I felt that under Evans, they had a brilliant attack but didn't have enough bite in defence and midfield to make a proper title challenge. Under Houllier, they finished 2nd in 2002 and can remember my brother and I rejoicing when they beat Man Utd whom they defeated the following year in the League Cup final. I think his heart attack sadly had an effect on his managerial skills hence the team becoming more mediocre. Shame he was sacked but one pleasing touch was him visiting the team before their 2005 Champions' League final against AC Milan.
RIP Gerard.
