My fav player when I was younger

Every one of those goals I would watch over and over on VHS. Definitely my favourite player then too.

People have been comparing him unfavourably to Mane, which is crazy really. For a start Mane plays in a front 3 whereas JB played wide left in a 4, much more line-hugging. Also Barnes was able to be kicked from pillar to post with relative impunity. Imagine how many goals he'd score today on the left of our front three. Didn't have scorching pace, but what a footballer.

The first I remember who scored free kicks with regularity, the first I remember who scored long range curlers with regularity….. then he reinvented himself as a Xaviesque player in midfield

An absolute great and like you I used to watch all his goals on video

Was my favourite player by far when I was growing up (I was born in 81)

I was behind him in the queue in Costa coffee about 8 years ago at Chester rail station. About 6am. I was like a ****in mute too shy to say hello or anything. Only time I have been genuinely starstruck. My wife didn't know what the **** was wrong with me

How **** were defenders and goalies back then?

Probably the best individual season anyone has had for Liverpool

best I've ever seen live...... and I've seen the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Fake Ronaldo, Ronaldino plus our current team obviously. Salah is electric but Suarez was a ****in machine. He basically dragged a team that should finish about 6th in the league to within a cunt-hair of the league. If VAR has existed back then, Brendan would have been the man to deliver #19 and his head would have no-doubt exploded!!!!

It's funny though - because had we won the league that year, then it's likely that Jurgen would never have joined LFC. It is also possible that he would have went to United!

He's one of the very few that left us and went on to have a much more successful career. But I couldn't say he improved in any way, he just kept up his high standards.

Also that header is the best headed goal for Liverpool I've ever seen in my life.

Suarez vs West Brom (PL 2014)
Gerrard vs AC Milan (CL 2005)
Alisson vs West Brom (PL 2021)
Skrtel vs Arsenal (PL 2014)
Wijnaldum vs Barcelona (CL 2019)

... great list.

I was only a nipper but I'd add McDermott against Spurs in 1978. And still the best LFC team goal I've ever seen. More contenders nowadays under Jurgen, though...

Didn't Sami have a decent header coming from the back post putting it in the front?

His curling header v Juventus?

Gini’s against city was also a thing of beauty
