Pre-event - Bruce Grobbelaar with Denise Lawton and Steve Lawton from Nantwich Bookshop

A ‘Bruce Grobbelaar in conversation’ & book signing event took place at Malbank School in Nantwich, writes Jonathan White.

Former Liverpool and Crewe Alexandra goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar talked about his life inside and outside football and signed copies of his autobiography ‘Life in a Jungle’.

Bruce was born in South Africa. He served in the Rhodesian Bush War before moving to Canada to play football for Vancouver Whitecaps.

He arrived in England, initially on loan at Crewe Alexandra.

Later, Bob Paisley Liverpool FC’s most successful manager decided to sign him as a replacement for the great Ray Clemence.

Grobbelaar spent nearly 15 seasons at Anfield where he won 19 medals – he is the most decorated goalkeeper in Liverpool FC’s 125-year history.

Bruce now lives in Canada.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
