Ange Postecoglou wanted to make a point about his love of Liverpool, which took hold in the 1970s as he grew up in Melbourne. Essentially, it is different now and not only because the Tottenham manager is about to face them in a competitive match for the first time.
“Like any kid, I had the posters up on my wall … Liverpool was my team,” Postecoglou said. “But you grow up. Things change. I used to love Happy Days back then, too, but I don’t have pictures of the Fonz on my wall today, either.”
