June
Alan Hansen
On this day 13th June 1955 a certain Alan Hansen entered the world in Sauchie, Scotland. So, happy 63rd birthday today to Alan Hansen. There isn’t a lot you get for £110,000 nowadays is there? Certainly not in the footballing world. I know times change but even back in 1977 wasn’t considered to be a […]
Graeme Souness
Now if ever there was a player and/or manager who divided opinion it would be Graeme Souness. Loved as a player, not so as a manager. During his playing days he was the ultimate midfielder. Feared, respected, highly rated and coveted in equal measures it would seem. It was being coveted that led to Graeme […]
John Barnes
There are times when you are lucky enough to see a really good player perform his stuff for Liverpool. But then you are really privileged to be fortunate to see a truly special player. An icon. A club legend. One of the best players in the world of his time. That accolade belongs to John […]
Javier Mascherano
There will be plenty of talk today about the possible signing of Nabil Fekir being confirmed today. Fekir will be a great asset no doubt if he does sign. He can play as a midfielder, or in the front three. If used as a midfielder it would mean that our whole midfield has had a […]
Nigel Clough
There are periods in football when certain players are coveted by a whole host of clubs. Many clubs would be clambouring for his signature. One such player back in the early 90’s was Nigel Clough. And on this day, 7th June 1993, he signed for Liverpool. It seemed at the time that all the top […]
A Day For Departures
As well as today, the 3rd June, being a “Happy Birthday” to the best club in the world, this same date also signalled the end for two club legends. On this day 3rd June also seems to have been a day for departures. Two huge legends of this magnificent club left on this day. Who […]
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.
On This Day-2nd June 1957
Today’s Match Of The Day pundit and former Reds classy centre-half, Mark Lawrenson was born in Preston. He signed for Liverpool from Brighton for £900,000 in 1981. Lawrenson would go on to win many honours while at Liverpool, including and perhaps most significantly, the European Cup in 1984, when Liverpool beat Roma in their own […]
24th June 1967
Liverpool sign goalkeeper Ray Clemence from Scunthorpe United for £18,000. He took over as number one from Tommy Lawrence and he went to play in all but six games in an eleven year spell. In his time at Liverpool, Clemence went on to win a host of awards including three European Cups and five Division […]
