The Return of King Kenny – Liverpool FC’s 2010-2011 Season from a Fan’s Perspective (Unauthorised) ISBN 9781908375094
At over 100,000 words, The Return of King Kenny is the most comprehensive guide yet published to Liverpool Football Club’s 2010-2011 season, arguably the most tumultuous of any in the club’s history. The previous lacklustre year had ended with the sacking of Rafael Benitez, which led the author of this book to believe that things could only get worse.
Of course, Benitez was replaced by Roy Hodgson, who had achieved the phenomenal feat of getting Fulham to the 2010 UEFA Europa League final. To his credit, Oliver had doubts from the start that Roy Hodgson could successfully make the step up to a bigger club such as Liverpool FC, and Oliver’s ideal appointment at this time would have been a certain ‘King Kenny’.
Yet Liverpool were still owned by Tom Hicks and George Gillett, who were certainly not a “safe pair of hands”, as under their stewardship, Liverpool FC came dangerously close to the brink of administration… Oliver Smith cuts through the broken promises, the bluster, and the red tape to provide a scintillating account of the events that could have wrecked Liverpool FC forever.
With the stunning purchase of Liverpool FC by John W. Henry’s New England Sports Ventures (NESV), Oliver was finally able to detect a little bit of that “golden sky’ so promised by the Kop’s famous anthem. However, with Liverpool FC having the worst start to the season since the 50s, with an accompanying drop into the Premier League relegation zone, more drama was to come, culminating in the crowning of a legendary Anfield hero as King.

Oliver Smith
Oliver Smith is the author of The Return of King Kenny – Liverpool FC’s 2010-2011 Season from a Fan’s Perspective (Unauthorised).
I’m 17, I’m a Christian and I am currently attending college with plans to study Politics at University. I love playing, watching and writing about football. I am obviously a Liverpool fan, but I have a special place in my heart for my hometown team Ipswich Town and also for Birmingham City because I enjoyed my time with them on trial as a youngster. My favourite aspect of the beautiful game is that two people can watch the same match and have completely different opinions. After years of discussing the Reds on the web I’ve come to the conclusion that ultimately, however much I disagree with someone, I’ll respect their right to an opinion.
