Samenvatting

On May 30, 1984 Joe Fagan made football history. He became the first English manager to win the Treble. After just one season as coach he had led Liverpool to victory in the League Cup, the League Championship and finally the European Cup, beating AS Roma on home soil after a gripping penalty shootout. It was an unprecedented triumph, the culmination of a twenty-five year career at the very heart of the Liverpool machine, and the end of a golden age. Unassuming, down-to-earth, and never one to court publicity, little is known about Joe Fagan: a man who played a pivotal part in Liverpool's domination of the game in the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties, but whose achievements were later obscured by disaster. A Scouser born and bred, he joined the Anfield coaching staff in 1958, after a playing career at Manchester City and years learning his craft in the lower leagues. At the time Liverpool were in the stranglehold of Second Division mediocrity - but then, a year later, Bill Shankly arrived, and everything changed. With a knack for nurturing the talents of precocious youngsters, Fagan quickly became part of Shankly's trusted inner circle. Indeed, not only was Fagan one of the original members of the fabled Boot Room, he is widely credited with its creation. Under Bob Paisley Fagan was appointed second-in-command. So when Paisley stepped down, the reluctant Fagan was the obvious and only choice to succeed him - and what followed surpassed the dreams of even the most success-spoilt Kopites. However, just one year after Liverpool's European triumph in Rome, the death of 39 fans at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels saw the club's glittering record tarnished by tragedy, and English football exiled from Europe. Fagan announced his retirement just hours later - and stepped back into the anonymity he craved. Now, drawing for the first time on Joe Fagan's own diaries, as well as a raft of new interviews with players, colleagues and contemporaries, this biography celebrates the record of one of football's least celebrated greats, and reveals the inner workings of Liverpool's golden age.
