  Liverpool's remarkable achievement in winning the UEFA Champions League against all the odds captured the imagination of the whole football world. In a game that has been described as the most eventful European Cup Final of all time, the Reds took their place in history by winning this most famous of club trophies for an historic fifth time. No other British club can match a feat that gave Liverpool the right to keep the Cup forever! An official book is to be published in August to celebrate this achievement entitled Liverpool's Five Star Heroes. If you were one of the 40,000 who helped make history with the Reds in Istanbul or one of the 500,000 who took to the city streets to welcome the players home, you can already proudly declare: I was part of something very special. Of course, you might want to dedicate somebody else's name in the book, like a friend or a relative who attended one of the other finals or who is simply a fanatical Liverpudlian. The memories of Istanbul will never fade just as those who tasted the glory that was Rome '77 continue to feel a special sense of pride. Five Star Heroes naturally majors on the sensational fightback against AC Milan in the Ataturk Stadium and the remarkable scenes that followed, but it will also become the definite record of Liverpool's European Cup achievements. It all started with the glory that was Rome in 1977 when German champions Borussia Moenchengladbach were vanquished. The following year the legendary Kenny Dalglish helped to overshadow Bruges at Wembley. In 1981 the mighty Real Madrid were the next victims of Bob Paisley's untouchables and in 1984 it was back to Rome's Olympic Stadium where Roma were beaten in their own backyard. Liverpool's Five Star heroes tells the inside story of these victories, while saluting Rafa Benitez and the modern Liverpool. It is packed full of interviews with the legends who helped make history. This book, featuring Steven Gerrard on the cover proudly holding the European Cup above his head, will be a must publication for Liverpudlians worldwide.
