Jürgen Klopp paid a touching tribute to Ian St John and described his pride at having the honour to have met the Liverpool legend at Melwood.
St John, who sadly passed away on Monday evening at the age of 82, visited the Reds’ former training complex in 2019, where he met with the manager and presented him with a unique gift – an opposition jersey from an international game he’d taken part in for Scotland against West Germany.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Klopp recalled: “First of all, when I arrived here at Liverpool I knew a lot about the 90s and this kind of stuff because of when I became an adult and was interested in international football.
