00:05 Obviously the news yesterday, what was your initial reaction to Jürgen Linde?
00:09 I don't think I believed it at first, saw the news and just shocked to be honest.
00:15 He's been the biggest figure in the club for the past eight years and to see him go is going to be sad.
00:21 Just steady news for, I'm from Ireland and we're all very disappointed that it happened.
00:27 He was a fantastic man down through the years and we brought Liverpool from exactly to the bottom to the very top.
00:34 We're all going to miss him and we wish him the very best of good luck.
00:37 I hope we get a new manager as good as Jürgen which is nearly impossible to do.
00:42 What legacy will he leave behind for the club?
00:46 Everything, 30 years, I've not been alive 30 years but 30 years in the Premier League and he got a stat.
00:51 Champions League, we won everything under him, every single trophy he could win.
00:56 Legacy, you can't get bigger than that.
00:59 He's given me some of the best years of my life, watching him win and everything.
01:04 He leaves up there with the greats, Shankly, Paisley, he's up there so great legacy.
01:09 I've thought about the future and I've thought he used to play for us, I think Xabi Alonso.
01:13 He's unbeaten in the Bundesliga and he's doing brilliantly with such a small club.
01:18 I don't know how he's built it up but I think he's the perfect replacement for Liverpool.
01:22 Alonso would be the one standing out now or maybe Gerrard if things go well further down the line.
01:29 I think Alonso is the one that stands out for me.
01:32 He's obviously got that connection with the club.
01:35 I think that but for now I just want to hope things go well for the club from now to the end of the season.
