About Bruce Grobbelaar:
The Liverpool FC icon has a background far from ordinary growing up in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), pegged to the ground behind the goal of his dad as a toddler, fighting in the Rhodesian bush war as a teenager, being one of few whites playing in the black league. You will hear about the unknown battle Bob Paisley had with the immigration authorities to convince them that no one in the UK would match Grobbelaar’s abilities and qualities as Ray Clemence’s understudy.
Only a few months later, Grobbelaar was thrown into the deep end as Liverpool’s number one, as Clemence surprisingly left for Tottenham.
Walking on hands, sitting on the cross bar and warming up under an umbrella certainly proved he was a different contribution to the English top flight football, it quickly gave him the nick name the Clown Prince, but he soon proved he could achieve a lot more than just clowning around as tiger saves and an offensive style of playing earned him a place year in and out of LFC’s most successful era.
He was also in goal when two of the biggest tragedies in British football in modern times hit the club.
Later he was accused of match fixing, and this night you will finally get the chance to hear his version of what really happened.
