On This Day 2nd June
A week on and I’m still smarting. But getting there. Quite a few things happened on this day 2nd June in days gone by. Two birthdays, a new contract signing and a new player. First, the birthdays.
Alan Kennedy
In the aftermath of Saturday’s disappointing result against Real Madrid, why don’t we indulge ourselves a bit. Another trip down Memory Lane to this day, 30th May, to the year 1984. Alan Kennedy, aka “Barney Rubble” scored the winning penalty as we lifted the European Cup for the fourth time. We defeated AS Roma in […]
Howard Gayle
It doesn’t seem that long ago when Howard Gayle was plying his trade for Liverpool. But here we are, on this day 18th May, celebrating Howard Gayle’s 60th birthday. Over the years there have been quite a few local Scousers who went on to wear the famous red shirt. Steve Gerrard, Steve McManaman, Robbie Fowler, […]
Yossi Benayoun
A happy 38th birthday to our former, classy midfielder, Yossi Benayoun. Very apt in a way as he also played for Chelsea, our opponents of course tomorrow. For me, Benayoun was a very underrated member of our squad. He joined us in July 2007 after catching the eye of Rafa Benitez a few years earlier […]
David Fairclough
As it’s Champions League (or as I still call it, European Cup) semi-final week I thought it was worth remembering a very special European game from the 1976/77 season. Liverpool fans of a certain age will always fondly recall the quarter final second leg on 16th March 1977.
The Return Of Peter Crouch
This Saturday coming could see the end of an era. Or, in fact, an end of two eras. With Liverpool playing Stoke City at 12:30pm on Saturday, we are likely to see the return of Peter Crouch. Why this is likely to be the end of an era is because at the age of 37, […]
Liverpool’s Best England XI?
We have been very fortunate over the years to have a wide array of English talent at our disposal. So many have gone on to represent England as well as star for the Reds. But what would you consider to be Liverpool’s Best England XI?
On This Day 13th November
On this day 13th November 1974 we signed one of my favourite players. A player that rightly went on to enjoy legendary status with us. Step forward the one and only Terry McDermott. Think of the most industrious, hard working, energetic midfielder you can imagine, then compare those attributes to those McDermott displayed week in, […]
On This Day 11th November
On this day 11th November, 1970, Liverpool completed the signing of striker John Toshack. He signed for a club record fee at the time of £110,000 from his hometown club, Cardiff City. It is incredible to think isn’t it
Who Will Make It?
We have been down this road so many times before. You know the one. When we see plenty of names of our up and coming youngsters put forward. As if making it is not hard enough anyway, some players in the past have been labelled with the, “this is the new…….”
