One of my rooms was used for Steven Gerrard’s trophies - Liverpool boss Klopp

Published on: 11 February 2016

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that one of the rooms in his house on Merseyside was once Steven Gerrard's trophy room.

The Liverpool manager is renting a mansion in Formby from old Reds boss Brendan Rodgers which the Northern Irishman had previously purchased from club legend Gerrard.

Klopp has touched on the enormous impact a club like Liverpool has on you, indicating that even without a contract linking you with Anfield, it still plays a massive part in your life.

The German hinted at past players such as Jamie Carragher and Steve McManaman, who still have a strong affinity for the place, and used the fact he lives in Gerrard's old house as testament to the togetherness of the famous club.

"Carragher and McManaman are working for television so they are around a lot. And like everyone should have heard by now I'm living in a house that Steven Gerrard built," Klopp told Sky Deutschland.

"One of our rooms used to be his trophy room. Fortunately he took all the silver with him so I don't have to look at it the whole time. I met him and he is a great guy.

"That's the thing with Liverpool - you can't become someone in this club without being a great person. For everyone in this club, football is important but they want the whole person. Either you are that person or they make you that person, always caring about the club always humble.

"I'm not so much into social media but of course I recognise who tweets or writes something if we win. That passion for the club doesn't end with an expiring contract."
