World Cup winner Karl-Heinz Riedle arrived at Liverpool having fired Borussia Dortmund to Champions League glory and helped set the kind of example the ...

And his pride at having played for the club he admired as a youngster as well as how well another of Dortmund’s favourite son’s has fared since taking over on Merseyside was very much evident when he assessed compatriot Jurgen Klopp’s contribution to Liverpool. A heartbreaking late defeat at Manchester United in the fourth round of the FA Cup having led through Michael Owen’s early goal for almost the entire match effectively ended the season in January and the rest of the campaign saw the Frenchman run the rule over his squad to identify who would be part of his revolution when it really got underway. A summer of change followed at Anfield with Frenchman Gerard Houllier being brought in to work alongside Evans in an unusual joint-manager role and Riedle would score the first goal of the pairing’s brief spell at the helm, powering home a header to equalise Egil Ostenstad’s opener at Southampton on the opening weekend of the season before strike partner Michael Owen grabbed the winner. And in the ladies' accompaniment there was also a guy who filmed the whole series with a camera and later sold the recording to a Sunday newspaper. By the time Riedle was back on the scoresheet in late March, Liverpool’s season - and in truth, Evans’ reign as manager - was limping towards the finishing line with the Reds way off the title pace being set by Arsenal and Manchester United, and domestic cup defeats to Coventry City and Middlesbrough have long since ended any hopes of silverware. Then I get this offer from Liverpool and I said to the club 'OK this is something that maybe comes once in a lifetime'. From my point of view, Liverpool was a dream to play for one day. Riedle’s penalty area expertise came to Liverpool’s rescue twenty minutes from full time however with Owen showing his ice-cool temperament by converting a penalty the German did manage to win from Vinny Jones and the Guardian were fulsome in the praise afterwards over what the veteran brought to the side, writing “Since Croydon is Dortmund with a water garden, it was hardly surprising that Riedle should look thoroughly at home. I wanted to go for a drink with a friend in the days after signing the contract. His future at the Westfalenstadion was soon in doubt however when Hitzfeld left as manager to be replaced by Italian coach Nevio Scala and speculation began to link him with a move to Liverpool, where Roy Evans was looking to add his experience and quality to his young squad after another promising season which had ended in abject disappointment. “There was a penalty area situation when the ball came in, a defender grappled in between, and I flew spectacularly over him. Although Alessandro Del Piero pulled a goal back for the Italians midway through the second half, Lars Ricken’s stunning lob five minutes later with his first touch after coming on as a substitute seconds before ensured Dortmund became champions of Europe for the first time in their history and secured Riedle’s place in German football folklore. Karl-Heinz Riedle had made his breakthrough in the late 1980s with Augsburg and Blau-Weiss Berlin before a move to Werder Bremen established him as one of the country’s top strikers.
