Dietmar Hamann had a love affair with the city of Liverpool – but ‘Didi’ has admitted he used to head to the blue side when he just wanted a bit of peace and quiet in the pub.
The German was one of those players who may not be flashy or eye-catching, but left a mark on the fans of the sides he donned the kits of – and converting a penalty in the 2005 Champions League final will also have helped at Anfield. Having joined the Reds from Newcastle United in 1996 after a long and successful spell with Bayern Munich, Hamann played almost 200 times for the scouse outfit.
But while speaking to Peter Crouch, he revealed he would often head for the blue side of Merseyside for a drink, especially when all he wanted was not to be bothered by fans.
