Chelsea legend, Michael Essien
Ghana legend Michael Essien has paid tribute to former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier, who died on Monday at the age of 73.
Essien never got to play for the Frenchman, but recounts the attempts he made to get him to Anfield.
When Houllier arrived at Olympique Lyon, Chelsea presented an irresistible fee to sign the midfield icon.
On her Instagram page, Essien wrote: ” This world was never meant for someone as beautiful as you, Monsieur Gerard Houllier. We have lost a legend and a great personal friend and mentor.
I remember when you tried to sign me to @liverpool in my early days, @bastia, but that didn’t work and when you finally joined @lyon we were both happy that we finally had a chance to work together, but again That didn’t work because @chelsea came to call me.
Even though we both wanted to work together, I will never forget the great role you played in my departure to @chelsea because you knew my desire to play Prime Minister at the time.
