Did You Know? Jurgen Klopp Special!

• Jurgen Klopp’s middle name is Norbert (the same as Fred Milln’s)
• He underwent a hair transplant in 2012 (similar to the one Harry Hoffen needs)
• Klopp loves long walks and has admitted that he often strolls home after matches to think about what he could have done better (just like Geoff Taunton-Collins after this season’s car crash on the way to Brentwood)
