Liverpool legend Fowler demands historic Anfield chance to honour Klopp

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler says Jurgen Klopp deserves a stand at Anfield named after him.

Fowler has called for a historic change to honour the departing German.

He wrote for the Mirror: “Jurgen Klopp will be remembered as Liverpool's greatest-ever manager - and I am calling on the club to rename the most famous stand in football 'The Klopp' for his final game at Anfield.

“That's quite some statement for me to make when you think about the role that legends like Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley and Sir Kenny Dalglish have played in making Liverpool history over the last 65 years.

“There is a powerful argument that Klopp is No 1. He has won every trophy possible in the eight years since he arrived at a club that had been treading water for so long.

“But not only has he brought success to Merseyside, he has also restored a Scouse sense of pride and passion.

“The two new stands that tower over Anfield, and the state-of-the-art training ground at Kirkby, financed by the fruits of his labour, are monuments to him. I hope Liverpool honour Jurgen properly before he departs at the end of the season - and rebranding The Kop in his honour for his final home game would be perfect."
