On This Day 10th Feb-We Signed?
The last couple of seasons or so has seen some players names added to Anfield folklore. For instance, take Andy Robertson. Hands up who realistically thought we were signing a future legend when we acquired Robbo from Hull? But for every legend created there are so many other players who have not been so exulted […]
David James
It seems that our goalkeeper discussions have been going on for donkeys years. Who has been worthy appears to be the question. Ever since Ray Clemence, some fans will arguably announce that virtually every custodian we have had have not been top drawer. You decide for yourself. One such custodian was David James.
Dean Saunders
Yet another birthday in this month of June. This time it is Dean Saunders who is celebrating his birthday. “Deano” is 54 today. Like father like son in the Saunders family. Deano’s father, Roy, also played for Liverpool as a wing-half (who’s old enough to remember that position description?).
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 […]
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 […]
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 10th May
Certainly plenty going on in our illustrious history on this day 10th May. As we all know May is really the business end of the season. And haven’t Liverpool done a lot of business in May over the years. Anyone read the book “Here We Go Gathering Cups In May”?. If not, you should. It’s […]
On This Day 6th October 1991
Is it really that long ago!! I remember it so well. On this day 6th October 1991 saw Rob Jones make his debut for Liverpool. Just 48 hours after signing for the team he supported as a boy, Jones made his debut for the Reds. More like a baptism of fire really. The debut, as […]
10th May 1978
Kenny Dalglish scores the only goal as Liverpool win the European Cup again with a 1-0 win against Club Brugge at Wembley. It was Liverpool’s second consecutive European Cup triumph. Notable absentees in this final were David “Doc” Johnson, who strained his knee ligaments earlier in the season and Tommy Smith, who dropped a pick-axe […]
