used to be 💷 a teacher in Kenya, teaching local kids there.
Why was she dubbed the 'First
Lady of Bundesliga'?

charitable actions and Jurgen Klopp's status whilst he was working in Germany.
She also
worked 💷 as a nurse whilst in Nairobi and helped starving children recover whilst
there.
Ms Sandrock also made headlines in April this 💷 year when she handed out £1,000

Liverpool's manager has
always been full of praise for his 💷 wife with both of them having children from previous
marriages when they got together.
He's talked about her books publicly saying: 💷 "It's
like Harry Potter but about football. There’s no flying on his f****** stick."
Sandrock
was more graceful when she told 💷 the press that the book illustrated the "fascination of
football" and "the longing for a distant hero world".
