Gerard Houllier turned Liverpool back to a club with a winning mentality. A true gent and nice man. Gerard Houllier LEGEND RIP

A sad day.

Houllier deserves a lot of credit for putting the club on the right path after a decade in the wilderness.

RIP

Never forget his face when McAllister bangs that free kick in from miles out vs the bitters, he gave us some great memories.

RIP Ged. You'll never be forgotten, especially as we know you fell in love with Liverpool FC from The Kop stand.

[Taksin]

I still can’t believe that went in

[Insidious]

Rest in Peace Gerard.

We'll try and win something for you. As if we needed an excuse.

[Steveo]

Bless you Gerard.

A club legend who brought us hope - that cup treble year especially.. what could have been had his health not failed him at a crucial time...?

Utd won the league that year and there wasn't even hardly a mention of it. Hahaha...
A great season after 10 years in the doldrums.

[southernboy]

Genuinely broken by this news. I met him twice and he was so warm and sincere; he absolutely loved the club, the city and the people. I'm stunned.

[justme]

what a nice man such a shame
RIP

[southernboy]

The tributes have got me in tears:

I am really glad he got to see us finally win the league. No man on earth would have been prouder.
What a terrible year this has been all round.

Me too mate, I welled up in the car when I found out. He was manager all through my time going to matches regularly. Never met him but have so many fond memories of him. He stuck up for the club big time and is part of the fabric.
I know it wont happen and some disagree but I genuinely think he should be on that flag on the Kop.
Thommos tribute is particularly great.

[CCTV]

RIP Enjoy the otherside

[worldpanel]

He got us, as a club
He got us, the city
He changed our club structure, our habits
He brought Owen and Gerard through, got some bloke named Hyppia
I saw his smile in Germany 2001, UEFA Cup
Gentleman, Legend and a true french scouser

[Steveo]

With Gerard Houllier’s death football loses one of its great minds and greatest gentlemen

[RedNoodle]

I've only just got up (as a result of my own health issues) and heard the sad news. I'm just listening to some tributes on the radio and I genuinely started tearing up. It upsets me greatly whenever something bad happens to someone good.

RIP Ged. You will be greatly missed.

[TheDOC1979]

The smile he had whenever we would win or score a goal. Always loved him and his personality. RIP

[faridtoxteth]

That is so sad. 73 years old is nothing.
Thanks for the unforgettable fantastic memories, Gerard.
He started us on our path out of the wilderness.

Thanks for the unforgettable fantastic memories, Gerard.
He started us on our path out of the wilderness.

He is a proud part of our modern history. In the 30 years between league titles we won 10 trophies. He was manager for 4 (40%) of them.

[Nineteenx]

RIP Gerard, thank you for all the great memories and instilling some much needed professionalism and discipline back to the club

[scientificred]

RIP Gerard

[stevie harkness]

Sad news, great memories.

I didn't feel he was always appreciated but some lovely tributes from a wide range of people today, not just Liverpool.

[retired]

Spent an hour reading the tributes, very sad and only 73, he did a lot for the club, more than some realized
RIP Gerard.

[Insidious]

One of many fine nights under him - think he was pretty much just back from his first bout of ill Health, though my memory for pre-Rafa Liverpool is quite fuzzy these days.

We had a few dust ups with Roma under him. First English team to beat them and Olympiakos away for years and years. Maybe ever.

heartbreaking :(

"you can never take away from me time and success "

And the fantastic relationship i've had with players with my staff and of course with the supporters

we can't Gerard we can't

Even when he first was manager, and I was very young, I could still tell how nice of a guy he was

[fayyazms]

Rip

[Joetan991]

RIP Gerard, exactly my time I started watching LFC. Give me lot of memories. Thank you so much.

[skyebo]

I remember one of our players getting sent off in a game. He said in a post match interview, " You can't control a game, if you can't control yourself"

[dicko1969]

After the European cup final in 2005
He went into the dressing room
Quietly.
And all the players were celebrating with him.

Looking back 12 of the 14 players involved were Houllier players .
