England's greatest right-back. Had he stayed fit there would have been no need for Gary Neville....come to think of it, there's still no need for Gary Neville.

Jon 'shot in the arse' Otsemobor is playing for Norwich.

What happened to John Scales after moving to Spurs? Did he retire?

Might be an idea for people to read the whole thread...ex-players are now being discussed for the third and fourth time

Mrs Scales is definitely alright - fact. Saw her at a beach football tournament on the Isle of Wight. That was few years ago mind.

He played in an 11 a side match for the ex players against Bristol before Christmas, benefit day organised by Nick Tanner (previously mentioned here too) - he has put on a lot of weight, funny to see him when he was always a skinny little lad

Fantastic player, suffered terribly with shin splints but Momo would be considered prolific compared to our Rob

Phil Babb

Moved to Liverpool for £3.6 million after some impressive performances for Coventry City in the Premiership. He enjoyed a relatively successful though fitful few years at Liverpool. Babb was involved in an infamous accident at Anfield in a match between Liverpool and Chelsea. Whilst scrambling to block a shot by Pierluigi Casiraghi Babb slid across the face of the goal missing the ball but managing to hit the post while both of his legs were spread. Casiraghi scored in a 1–1 draw. What a thing to be remembered for

Babb fell out of favour with French boss Gérard Houllier, and he had a loan spell at Tranmere Rovers before leaving the club on a Bosman free deal in the summer of 2000. He signed for Sporting Clube de Portugal and was voted the best defender in Portugal in his second season there. He later moved to Sunderland without great success.

His career hit controversy in August 2000 when he and Mark Kennedy were ordered home from the Republic of Ireland squad after appearing in court accused of causing criminal damage, causing a breach of the peace and being drunk and disorderly. They were rolling across car bonnets while replicating scenes from Starsky and Hutch, but unfortunately chose an unmarked police car.

During his final cap for Ireland as a 85th minute sub against Russia, in an Euro 2004 qualifier in Moscow, in his first touch he diverted the ball past goalkeeper Shay Given for an own goal.

Retired, in 2006,

Babb was a bit like Traore; all of the right attributes, but made too many poor decisions.

I remember the World Cup just before we bought him. Babb and McAteer looked fantastic for Ireland, Babb looked like the new Alan Hansen, McAteer dominated games. When we bought them both I was very happy indeed.
I suppose they are early forerunners of Diao and Diouf.

They did more for the club than those two, McAteer especially.

Daniel Sjolund.

Signed by Ged for £1m from West Ham as part of the Rigobert Song deal, he moved on to Djurgårdens, where he still plays.

He is another ex-LFC striker who has gone on to become prolific - with 18 goals in 107 appearances.

Not trying to be a smartass here, but he´s actually done quite well the last couple of years. Plays midfield nowadays and is actually in the finnish national team.

PS. The club is Djurgården or Djurgårdens IF. A bit like calling LFC for Liverpools DS
