Neil Mellor joins The Football Historian Podcast to tell the real story behind his career at Liverpool.
From scoring 56 goals in a season to THAT moment against Arsenal, Neil opens up on life inside one of the biggest clubs in the world — including his relationships with Rafael Benítez and Gérard Houllier.

• Being told to support Liverpool by Steve Heighway
• Training with Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher
