A bar owner with venues across the city centre and on Lark Lane has told the ECHO how football and music led to a "life long love affair" with Liverpool.
Rob Gutmann moved to the city when he was 18 in 1985, initially to study at The University of Liverpool. The main pull was the city's globally renowned export - football.
Rob said: "90% of the reason I wanted to come here is because I supported Liverpool from the age of ten. My dad isn't English, so never took me to the football and I had no affiliation to any London teams. My hero was Kenny Dalglish."
