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.
On This Day 24th June
One very memorable event occurred on this day 24th June 1967. So much of today’s talk is about which goalkeeper should employ as the number one. No such problem for 11 years after this significant signing on this day 24th June 1967. One of Liverpool’s best signings ever? Most definitely.
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?).
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.
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 […]
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 […]
