A thrilling 2008/09 season has seen Liverpool FC produce some of their most exciting football for years. The club's best ever season on the road was coupled with an unbeaten Barclays Premier League campaign at home and as the season reached a thrilling climax there was a sensational 4-1 win at Old Trafford and a 4-0 Champions League victory over Real Madrid. There were goals galore as the Reds found the net more than any other team in the Premier League and there was double success against Manchester United and Chelsea... I can't think of a better way for Liverpool fans to remember the events that unfolded during the 2008/09 season than this DVD. Liverpool Football Club: Season Review 08/09 contains highlights from every game including every goal scored in the Barclays Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup along with exclusive comments from Rafa Benitez, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Fernando Torres, Pepe Reina, Dirk Kuyt, Xabi Alonso, Yossi Benayoun and Sami Hyypia. At just short of 2 hours and 25 minutes in length, this DVD packs in the goals and action. We start off with a look at the players who left the club as well as those that joined in '08/'09, and then we're off at break-neck speed to see the highlights of every match. In between the action we get interviews with the players and manager Rafael Benítez. There's also brief segments that look at, amongst other things, the sad death of secretary Bryce Morrison and a tribute to the 96 Liverpool supporters that lost their lives in the Hillsborough disaster. In addition, you can choose to watch the DVD straight through, or go to the diary page and pick to view the highlights from any given game. Much better than a souvenir book, this DVD is an essential purchase for all Liverpool fans. 9 Nick Smithson |
