A family divided, Anfield memories & Jurgen Klopp – John Bishop’s Liverpool Life – Liverpool FC

Having interviewed Jurgen Klopp and performed at Anfield, famend comic John Bishop has had some unbelievable experiences as a Liverpool supporter.

Performing in packed arenas all over the world, Liverpool’s funniest fan has had a tremendous 25-year profession in stand-up comedy. All of the whereas, Bishop’s love for the Reds has remained a continuing in his life.

It was solely in Might that he interviewed Klopp on the M&S Financial institution Enviornment in entrance of 11,000 individuals on a memorable night time celebrating the German’s time at Liverpool.

On the 2024 Kip on the Kop, we had the possibility to talk to Bishop about his Liverpool-supporting life.

My first Liverpool match was…

I’m not fully certain whether or not it was my first recreation or the one which stood out in that first season.

I used to be within the Anfield Highway Finish and clearly, it was standing then. I used to be on the bar, sat on the bar. My dad used to take a seat us on the bar and stand and maintain again 10,000 individuals by standing there.

I used to be down there and I watched Phil Boersma get the ball right here (left wing in entrance of the Kop), come inside and hit it from what appeared to me like a mile away into the highest nook.

I can image all of it taking place in entrance of me now.

I began supporting Liverpool as a result of…

My dad’s a twin and his brother helps Everton and my dad helps Liverpool… so we haven’t seen his brother for years now (that’s a joke!)

However that’s the way it was in our household, I imply actually Everton on one half and Liverpool on the opposite.

For those who might relive one Liverpool recreation, which would it not be?

Everybody’s going to tug sure vital issues out once they have been there, and there’ve been a great deal of video games after I’ve been there and it’s modified – a great deal of huge video games even lately.

However I believe for me, I believe watching them win the FA Cup on tele (in 1974), that for me – Kevin Keegan, all of them.

For me, that was when the workforce I supported first had that magic of trophies.

For those who might relive one season supporting Liverpool, which would it not be?

I’d like us to have had the season after we received the Premier League once more in order that we might be there.

My three company from Liverpool’s previous or current for a cocktail party could be…

That’s a giant query, isn’t it?

I’d have Kenny (Dalglish), I’d have Jurgen (Klopp), and I’d have Invoice Shankly.
