How did Jurgen Klopp change Liverpool? In Transformer: Klopp, the Revolution of a Club and Culture (Canongate, 2024), Neil Atkinson, host of The Anfield Wrap tells the story of Klopp’s time at the football club and in the city. The book ranges widely, from socio-cultural history, through personal memoir, to tactical analysis and contemplations on the changing styles and patterns of football. Structured around 19 key games, the book also features reflections on the need for a transformation in English (as well as European and global) football governance, alongside politics and society more generally. Funny, moving, and deeply poignant, the book will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand football, culture and society in past decade.
