As Brucie Used To Say
Just to clarify from the outset, this article is not referring to our flamboyant goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar by the way. I am talking about the late, legendary entertainer Bruce Forsyth. And what was it that Brucie used to say? Fans of his will have guessed it straight away. Yes, you got it:
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 […]

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.
Howard Gayle
It doesn’t seem that long ago when Howard Gayle was plying his trade for Liverpool. But here we are, on this day 18th May, celebrating Howard Gayle’s 60th birthday. Over the years there have been quite a few local Scousers who went on to wear the famous red shirt. Steve Gerrard, Steve McManaman, Robbie Fowler, […]
Cup Final Tickets
Congratulations to all those that have now been informed and actually acquired their Champions League Final tickets. Although I qualified for the ballot I didn’t get one. No worries. It happens. Having been to the last three European Finals I can say that on the one hand it as an absolutely brilliant experience. However, on […]
Liverpool Clinch A Top Four Spot
Well, it turned out to be an anti-climax in the end didn’t it. What I mean by that is that in a previous post – see the post HERE – I mentioned that it is often characteristic of Liverpool to take things to the wire. Although it was to the wire in a certain respect, […]
