Billy Liddell

A very significant day in the history of Liverpool on this day 27th July 1938. This was the day we signed Billy Liddell from Lochgelly Violet for £200. No missing zeros. It was actually £200. On that day he walked into Anfield a 16 year old boy. By the time he left the club he […]

On This Day 25th July

With the squad we currently have, several fans are offering their opinions as to whether or not we need another striker. Also, of the strikers we currently have – which ones to keep. Give Sturridge a chance maybe? What about Solanke? Danny Ings has fought back well from serious injury – does he deserve some […]

Neil Ruddock

So far this transfer window has appeared to be a good one. Some really astute, quality signings it would seem. Finally we seem to be assembling a squad of real quality and real depth. Add having a great manager into the mix and committed owners (well done FSG for backing Jurgen Klopp), a brilliant stadium, […]

Stewart Downing - Signed For Liverpool On This Day 15th July 2011

Stewart Downing

Kenny Dalglish certainly had his spending head on in 2011. After the departure of Fernando Torres in January 2011, Dalglish went on a bit of a spending spree. Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez arrived in January 2011 for combined fees of about £57m. All paid for by the sale of Torres, bar £7m. King Kenny […]

Craig Bellamy

Craig Bellamy

On this day 13th July 1979 Craig Bellamy was born in Cardiff. It just so happened to also be a Friday. A bit of useless info there. I think everyone will agree that Craig Bellamy was, let’s say, a fiery character. He was one of those that you hated when we played against whatever team […]
