There have been football books which have told their tale through
the partisan heart of a besotted fan, and those that have dissected
their subject through the scientific mind of an objective writer.
But rarely does one fuse the blind passion of a lifelong supporter
with the cold eye of an award-winning journalist in the way 44
Years With The Same Bird does. That bird is the Liver Bird, and on
the surface this book is a pitch-side view of the entire modern era
of Britain's most successful football club. It is Brian Reade's
take on the extraordinary stories behind the 48 trophies he has
seen Liverpool lift since watching them en route to their first
ever FA Cup win in 1965, right through to the Champions League
defeat in Athens in 2007. It takes in all of the big nights that
propelled the club to five European Cups, three UEFA Cups, twelve
titles, countless domestic cup triumphs, bitter failures, the
tragic disasters in Sheffield and Brussels, as well as the barren
years of the late 60s and the 90s. But the book goes far deeper
than that. It's about how football allowed a father who was
separated from his son to forge a precious bond. How a football
club can make a city that is dying on its knees keep believing in
itself. How you should never, as a professional, get too close to
your heroes. How being part of a disaster at a football match
(Hillsborough) can leave you a mental wreck, unwilling to carry on,
but how witnessing a miracle on a football pitch (Istanbul) makes
you realize that no matter how low you sink, you should never give
in.
