Robbie Keane
Happy Birthday today to Robbie Keane. Maybe not the signing we all hoped he would be, Robbie Keane joined Liverpool from Tottenham Hotspur in July 2008. After scoring only seven goals in 28 appearances, Keane returned to Spurs in January 2009. Today he will be enjoying his 38th birthday.
The New Zinedine Zidane
It’s hard enough to make it as a professional footballer as it is. But when you have made it and looking to develop your career does a new label really help you? I don’t think so. Even more so, when the label placed on you is heralding you as a successor to one of the […]
Jamie Redknapp
June certainly is a popular month for Liverpool players birthdays isn’t it. On this day 25th June 1973, our classy ex-midfielder, Jamie Redknapp was born. Just in case you didn’t know, Jamie is the son of Harry (or ‘Arry) Redknapp.
John Arne Riise
John Arne Riise and how did he score THAT goal. A popular chant for a popular player. On this day 20th June 2001 we sign John Arne Riise from Monaco for a fee in the region of £4m. This move enabled Riise to be reunited with Gerard Houllier. The Norwegian left-back was relatively unknown before […]
Jason McAteer
To a great extent you often want as many fans playing for the club as possible. They do say that a staunch fan will give that extra bit of commitment. Not sure if that’s true but it is always good to see fellow fans pull on the famous red shirt. And what of the player […]
Bjorn Tore Kvarme
You will all probably be aware that today is our captain, Jordan Henderson’s birthday. A huge Happy Birthday greeting to our skipper and best of luck for tomorrow. However, Henderson is not the only current or ex Liverpool player celebrating a birthday today. Let’s also wish Bjorn Tore Kvarme a Happy Birthday.
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 […]
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 […]
