'The best band in the world'
By March 2016, it seemed there was little more Jürgen Klopp could do to ingratiate himself to Liverpool supporters.
Then, the boss walked in for a pre-match press conference at Melwood wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the logo of the city's most famous export: The Beatles.
His description of the Fab Four in glowing terms did his reputation among fans no harm, either.
"The best band in the world. My mother said it, my father said it: Number one - The Beatles."
