Gérard Houllier passed away last night, I mostly know him for being Lyon's coach during what was the best period of the team, but as he also been Liverpool's coach from 1998 to 2004 and was the coach that made Steven Gerrard start his first match with the pros, so I'm sharing the bad new here...

Not everything, David Ginola and Houlier had a huge falling out when Gerard was the French National manager. Houlier blamed Ginola for a mistake which led to a goal that meant France failed to qualify for the World Cup Finals - going out in the qualifiers.

GH was not a renowned footballer, best described by Danny Murphy who said 'For a guy who couldn't kick a ball straight, he really knew his football'. His time at Liverpool was mixed, winning a treble (both domestic cups and a Europa League), suffering a heart attack, ending the boot room era when Roy Evans was moved on - Gerard came in as a Co-Manager to work alongside Evans and arguably not getting enough out of one of the most talented teams the club ever had.

Sad to see him go. RIP
