Debatanu: When I started watching Liverpool in late 1998, Gerard Houllier was manager. Had so many great memories of the team managed by one of the finest managers. You'll never walk alone.
Now then a couple from the current crop of Premier League managers have had a few words to say about the death of Gerard Houllier.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said: "It’s sad news, our deep condolences to his family. He was incredibly loved, when he was in Uefa meetings, when I was a player in Barcelona, Europa league, against Liverpool.
"Sad news for the whole of world football and all the best for his family."
Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard kicked-off his news conference earlier by saying: "I came across him on and off the pitch and he was always an absolute gentleman, a great football person and very successful."

“The news has come as a total shock this morning. Gerard Houllier was still a young man at the age of 73," said Ferguson.
“Gerard became a really good friend during his time at Liverpool. We remained great friends after he left and he was always a great ally to have.
“He had fantastic football knowledge which he gained during his extensive and varied career. When we saw each other at UEFA meetings or other events, we would often enjoy a chat, he was always great company and I will miss him dearly. He was a true gentleman.
“It is a sad day for the football world and my thoughts are with his family at this desperately sad time.”

Speaking on Talksport, Murphy said: "He changed my career. He made me see football differently, the way I looked after myself and conducted myself. He was intelligent, warm and charismatic.
"For someone who couldn’t kick a ball straight he knew his football. Sometimes he would join in training and the lads would laugh when he tried to ping a ball because he couldn’t.
"In terms of knowing tactics, captivating a room and inspiring he was brilliant.
"It’s a sad loss I feel for his family. He wanted to know everything about his players. I would go through a brick wall for him. I’ve got so much to thank him for.”

Jamie: Terrible news to start the week. I remember my first Liverpool away game in 1998 I was in the Chelsea end. Met Gerard before the game, commented that I looked like Michael Owen and asked if I was as good as him. Signed both my programme and ticket. Gave everything he had to Liverpool. Wonderful man.

More from Jamie Carragher: "The education he gave me about how to look after myself, certainly off the pitch as much as on it, I think that was a big thing in how long I ended up playing for and staying at the club.
"I think without his advice at such a young age, I don't think I'd have had the career I had."
Image source, Getty ImagesMore from former Reds defender Jamie Carragher speaking to Sky Sports News, about the death of Gerard Houllier:
"He was a great man, I think that's why you can see the reaction today all over social media.
"It wasn't just as a manager and the job he did, not just for Liverpool, at other clubs, the influence he had on what the French did at the 1998 World Cup.
"But what he did for me, Stevie [Gerrard], Michael Owen, Danny Murphy, when he first came in.
"I don't think I or any of those lads or anyone else involved at the club would ever forget what he did for us and he just meant so much to use all. You're like a sponge for information at that age, you really look up to your manager, and just that spell that he had, I just absolutely adore that man."
