In Men in White Suits, Simon Hughes meets some of the most
colourful characters to have played for Liverpool Football Club
during the 1990s. The resulting interviews, set against the
historical backdrop of both the club and the city, deliver a rich
portrait of life at Anfield during a decade when on-field
frustrations were symptomatic of off-the-field mismanagement and
ill-discipline. After the shock resignation of Dalglish and Graeme
Souness's ill-fated reign, the Reds - under the stewardship of Roy
Evans - displayed a breathtaking style led by a supremely talented
young group of British players whose names featured as regularly on
the front pages of the tabloids as they did on the back. The Daily
Mail was the first newspaper to tag Evans's team as the Spice Boys.
Yet despite their flaws, this was a rare group of individuals:
mavericks, playboys, goal-scorers and luckless defenders. Wearing
off-white Armani suits, their confident personalities were
exemplified in their pre-match walk around Wembley before the 1996
FA Cup final (a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United). In stark contrast
to the media-coached, on-message interviews given by today's top
stars, the blunt, ribald and sometimes cutting recollections of the
footballers featured in Men in White Suits provide a rare insight
into this fascinating era in Liverpool's long and illustrious
history.
