Former Liverpool and France boss has died aged 73. Great manager, very sad indeed.

That's shocked me. That is really sad. He was a great manager and did so much for French football. Came across as a nice guy who really bought into Liverpool too.
Coincidentally I was listing to a Quickly Kevin podcast yesterday with John Robins who was doing a worst Liverpool 11 of the 90's where Houllier came up a bit. His description of Bruno Cheyrou as the new Zidane was obviously mentioned! Overall did a decent job there though and was largely responsible for the emergence of Owen and Gerrard.
RIP.

I always thought he was one of the nicest people in football.
he did have some poor transfer purchases (Diouf ‘the spitter’) and over hyping of players Biscan the messi of the balkans, Cheyrou the next Zidane

Liked him very much. Sad news.
RIP
As others have said, always came across as a very decent guy and a good manager.

A nice guy in football, RIP.
Yeh he was a really nice guy. One of these guys when you spoke to him you never felt he was trying to cut the conversation short. Really sad news. I didn't think he was that old

Sad, always looked a bit off peak though to be honest. RIP.
Always seemed a really nice and genuine man and very good manager.
He had that scare in October 2001 I think at home to Leeds when he had a heart attack at half-time. He spoke movingly in his autobiography about how he felt before, during and afterwards in hospital. I wondered if he'd come back and manage but he did and won quite a few trophies for Liverpool.
RIP Gèrard. A footballing gentleman.

Your support is not that great
Very sad. Came across as intelligent and likable. I don't think Roy Evans would necessarily agree but I suppose the pair of them were put in a position where one of them was always likely to emerge as the loser, and it was Roy (who actually I think is good egg too).
