    Farewell Jocky
    Alan Hansen retired through injury on this day in 1991. He had made 620 reds appearances, helping us to claim three European Cups, eight League titles, two FA Cups and three League Cups.

    LEGEND
    yes good shout, my favourite defender of all time.
    Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
    'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'

    "Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

    * After Tommy Lawrence had let in a fluke goal between his legs

          I think a few players may take umbrage with that statement , I'm thinking of Mr Beckenbauer especially

            In terms of his composure on the ball and his ability to read the game, he's up there with the best of his time - probably the best of his time at club level.

            Didn't quite do it at international level and that for me confirms the team ethic that our side had at that time.

            Ironically, despite all his composure on the pitch he was a nervous wreck before a game.

            A wonderful, wonderful player and interestingly enough, due his dodgy knees he rarely trained from the mid-80's onwards. You'll notice he carried the ball out of defence less and less from then on and this simply because he just could not last games - and that's from the great man himself.

              Bobby Moore wasn't too shabby either.

              Jocky was a legend but lets not get carried away.

                Bobby Moore
                Beckenbauer
                Jocky

                All were 20 years ahead of their time.

                    He was a superb player.

                    Not as good as Willie Miller tough if you go by Taggart's world cup squad

                      Ah yes, Willie brought so much more to the table than Jocky, it takes a special kind of manager to see that.
