Liverpool legend explains why ‘Klopp is Shankly reincarnated’
Former Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar has claimed Jurgen Klopp is Bill Shankly “reincarnated in a German body”.
Speaking on BT Sport, Reds legend Grobbelaar paid the German coach the ultimate compliment.
“This is not a team it is a family and when Jurgen Klopp’s says we dont have songs we have anthems, it is true,” said Grobbelaar.
“Everybody that goes away from this club will find that sometime they will come back. I had 10 years in Canada and I’m back now because this club draws you back and it’s a brilliant atmosphere.
“Jurgen Klopp is Shankly reincarnated in a German body. He gets this club.”

“Klopp is Shankly reincarnated in a German body, because he gets the people. Shankly when he first came here from Huddersfield went into the pubs and and had some drinks.
“What did Jurgen Klopp do when he first came here? He went into the pubs and had some drinks with the fans so he could get the culture. He gets the city.”
