The Official Liverpool FC Podcast

Little was known about Spanish manager Rafael Benitez when he arrived at Anfield from Valencia in 2004, but it didn’t take long for him to write his name in Liverpool folklore. In the latest episode of We Are Liverpool, the man who brought the European Cup home for a fifth time explains his quick-thinking amid the half-time chaos inside the Ataturk Stadium, and what made Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard squeamish on the road to Istanbul. We’ll hear how and why the Spaniard made Robbie Fowler’s dreams come true for a second time, when the Reds legend made his second coming at Anfield in 2006 with Robbie seeking answers over his lack of game time! There’s much more to get stuck into – including Rafa’s insight into the modern game, how he managed the incomings and outgoings at the club throughout his tenure and the reasons behind his decision years later to take charge of Everton.

Goalkeeper Rylee Foster fulfilled a childhood dream in January 2020 when she travelled from Canada to sign for LFC Women, re-establishing the link her family has with the club and the city. However, almost two years into her Reds career, the battle to be Liverpool's No.1 was replaced with a fight for her life, after she was involved in a serious car accident that left her a 'sneeze away' from paralysis. In the latest episode of We Are Liverpool, Rylee talks openly to Peter McDowall and Robbie Fowler about the physical and mental trauma she suffered and the long recovery process she had to endure, with her sights firmly set on the future on and off the pitch. We'll also hear why she had 'You'll Never Walk Alone' tattooed on her arm long before joining the club, how her father helped her goalkeeping education and where Robbie ranks in her list of Liverpool heroes.
