Liverpool legend: I killed people while I was a soldier

The hottest football fans remember it as the first of the <x0 ...porters-klow” species. His provocative moves at the gate line, at “Olimpico”, against Rome in the final of the 1984 Champions Cup, won by Liverpool vs.

However, behind that smile, Bruce Grobbelaar has always hidden and hidden the pain he suffered today before he undertakes the football career, the pain of those who have been part of the war.

Grobbelaar talked about all of this in the book “A life in a jungle” (A life in a jungle), published with pieces from “Mail On Sunday”. Born of Zimbabwe, before becoming a goalkeeper and playing 400 games with Liverpool, Grobbelar was part of the National Service, participating in the civil war that has torn the country between 1964 and 1979.

The first time he's been forced to take a gun in his hand continues to hunt Grobbelaar: “I still remember the first time I was forced to kill someone. I still feel like I can see his eyes”, it's written in his book.

I looked, I felt my heart beating, but I had to pull the trigger and shoot. I felt nothing, only a relief that I had shot before he did it”.
