The Road to Istanbul: Chris Kirkland - the man without a medal

Time for us to take the third step on the Road to Istanbul, as we reflect on Liverpool's fifth European Cup success 15 years on. Join Guy Clarke and Dan Kay as they continue to re-trace the Reds’ path to the historic 2005 Champions League Final in Istanbul. For the third instalment of the series, looking back to Liverpool’s third group-stage game with Deportivo La Coruna, they are joined by former Liverpool goalkeeper Chris Kirkland. It was to be the first of four outings for the shot-stopper in the run to the final, as he played each of the final four group games after replacing Jerzy Dudek. Listen in as he reflects on his initial conflict with Rafa Benitez over training sessions, how he worked his way into the team and disappointment at never receiving a medal for his part in the club’s success in Europe.
