Jurgen Klopp honoured as stunning new Liverpool mural appears in Anfield

A stunning new Jurgen Klopp mural has been painted near to Liverpool's stadium in Anfield to salute everything the German has done for the club.

Klopp arrived as Liverpool manager almost seven years ago and has won every major honour going - including a first league title in 30 years and a sixth Champions League.

BOSS Night teamed up with MurWalls to bring the brilliant piece of work to Randolph Street. MurWalls are the company behind various existing artistic tributes to Jordan Henderson, Jamie Carragher and many others across the city.

Klopp's famous song sung by his adoring fans has been mentioned on the mural - with the quote "y'know he said so" referencing Beatles classic 'I Feel Fine' next to a beaming Liverpool boss.

Rising music star and veteran of numerous BOSS Night gigs and events Jamie Webster was due to pay a visit to the mural today to see the completed artwork.

He told the ECHO: "As a Liverpool fan, Jurgen means everything to me - and to us. On a personal note, he's that extra bit special. The video that did the rounds when he surprised me in a bar in Michigan really fast-tracked the rise of my career. He didn't have to do it. He came down because he wanted to.

"Since then I've had a pint with him in New York and spoke to him a couple of months ago - every time I see him, he always comes over and makes an effort. He's the biggest manager in the world of football in my eyes. The fact that he has so much time for a rag-arse like me speaks more about Jurgen than it does about me!

"With the murals of everyone that are going up around Anfield, it's only fitting that he has one. It's amazing. I've got nothing but love for Jurgen and his team."

Daniel Nicolson, founder of BOSS Night, said of the mural plan: "This has been commissioned by BOSS Night and the artists behind it are MurWalls. Working with them we identified a suitable wall near Anfield. Not the easiest of tasks as they're quickly becoming scarce. It's been fantastic to see the streets around the ground decorated over the past couple of years with murals but we felt there was one person absent, Jurgen.

"Whilst there is a superb Klopp painting in the Baltic Triangle area the man who has brought us so much joy over the past 7 years was missing from L4!

"All of us at BOSS feel a connection on and off the pitch to Jurgen. He's been to our events, he speaks highly of Jamie Webster, we know he enjoys watching all the videos from gigs. And of course for the wider fan base as a whole he is revered. So we wanted to show appreciation to him on behalf of all Reds around the world.

"Marc [Silver] and the team at MurWalls really are the best in the game when it comes to art work of this nature and we knew they could get it right and most importantly do such an important homage justice.

"We're really proud to see the finished piece today and look forward to tens of thousands of reds seeing it over the coming weeks and maybe even the man himself!"
