A fantastic football coach. He actually built that Liverpool team that eventually gave Liverpool that champions league in the benitez era. At least he started with building the dream, before been sacked and benitez taking over. He gave the likes of carra, gerrad their grove and brings back confidence into the team. RIP Houllier
