#10 Klopp is a Stutgartt fan

Jurgen Klopp has been a supporter of Stuttgart since he was a child

The current Liverpool manager is said to be a VfB Stuttgart fan since his childhood. The German was attracted to the club as it happened to be in his hometown. Klopp, who played as a defender, idolized Stuttgart legend Karlheinz Forster who was a defender and was regarded as one of the world's top man-markers in his prime.

Forster spent the majority of his career at Stuttgart where he helped his team get promoted in his first season as a senior player. While his only contribution to Stuttgart in terms of trophies was a Bundesliga title in 1983/84, he won a UEFA European Championship for Germany in 1980 and helped them reach two finals in consecutive World Cups.
