As Liverpool celebrate, we look at the team behind the team who made winning the Premier League possible
The esteemed Anfield boot room belongs to another era but was still in existence when Liverpool won the league on 28 April 1990.

It would be another three years before the wrecking ball demolished rich tradition for the sake of a bigger press room.
Repeated conquests of English and European football were plotted in that confined space where Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Reuben Bennett and Tom Saunders, as well as Moran and later Evans, sat on baskets surrounded by rows of boots and posters of topless pin-ups.
