A host of Liverpool legends and family members of players from teams of the 1920s to 1960s will be at the launch event for renowned Liverpool FC authors Jeff Goulding and Kieran Smith's new book The Untouchables: Anfield's Band of Brothers.

Jeff will also have copies of his previous book, The Lost Shankly Boy: George Scott’s Anfield Journey (Liverpool FC), which did not have a book launch due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.

The launch – held at Taggy's Bar, Anfield Road, Liverpool, on Friday, 8 October at 7pm – is the perfect opportunity to have your photo taken with ex-Liverpool stars and get copies of either book signed by the players and Jeff himself.

About The Untouchables

The Untouchables: Anfield's Band of Brothers chronicles the rise and fall of one of Liverpool's greatest teams. Rising from the ashes of war, they developed into a band of fierce characters, so formidable they were considered untouchable. Meticulously researched and lovingly told, the book breathes new life into a fascinating, long-forgotten story.
