La fame o l’inappetenza non erano solo forme nervose, ma manifestazioni di un atavico istinto al combattimento.

Eigentlich fängt die Geschichte mit Kevin Keegan an, dem englischen Stürmer mit den wilden Locken. Der wurde in den Siebzigern zu Campinos großem Idol, denn dieser coole Engländer zeigte ihm, auf welcher Seite er zu stehen hatte.

Was lag näher als die Entscheidung für den besten Fußballverein der Welt, den Liverpool FC?

He is one of the most talented footballers of the modern era and a dual international in rugby league and rugby union. But for a long time, Mat Rogers lived in both the shadow and the thrall of his famous father, and their complex relationship shaped him in ways he couldn’t fathom.
