Bye Bye Sami

[Vermilion]

Thanks Sami, a credit to LFC, & a credit to the game.

[Lee]

Agreed with everything in this thread - think every LFC fan has exactly the same thoughts and opinions of Sami.

Good luck Sami, thanks for everything, could still teach a lot of regular centre halves a thing or two

See you in a few years time

[Montana]

Gutted, thought he'd stay for another season. Great player and a true legend.

One of our best-ever centre-backs.

[Mono]

Sami was as good as any centre-half as we've ever had. He's up there with Hansen and Lawrenson but he'll never be allowed be a credible inclusion in Liverpool All-Time XI's as he hasn't got the league titles they achieved.

For me though as someone old enough to remember the early 80's he's on a par with them.

He took a lot of scouting before he joined 10 years ago but it was a job well done.

It's typical of the man and the professional that he wants to play football even at his age. I've read he's one of the best trainers at the club too. I only remember a few short term injuries too. In 10 years he was hardly ever injured.

I hope he returns in a couple of years as a coach. I expect though he'll be inundated with offers of managerial jobs though.

[BrooklynRed]

One of my favorite Reds and a masterful positional player. The fact that everyone thinks the same of him speaks volumes to his years at the club. I can barely remember what a team without him looks like! He will be missed and I hope he returns to the club in the future. Brilliant player.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

really sad news
what a legend though, hope we get to see him play again and give him a proper send off that he deserves!

[Jaymo]

What a player he was for this club.. a Legend if ever there was one..

Good Luck Sami

Great shout a few years back to the tune of 'you're going home in a ......'

"The fonz is cool but Sami's Hyypia"

Absolute legend. Would love to see him for another year but deserves first team footy if that what he wants.

Ohh Sami, Sami ..............

[squaddie]

One of few true proffessionals left in the game. Absolute ledge.

Ah man we have all these nice comments and memories of Sami in this thread and you have to introduce that God-awful picture of him

Sack Parry, erm, I mean Sami

I'm gutted to see him go. The only time I've been really, really sad to see a Liverpool player leave is Fowler... and this is just as sad really

[Lee]

PS - On second thoughts, after looking at that picture... he does have wonderful skin. Wonderful.

Still, he's worth it

More I think about it , the worse I feel.

I can only preaume either a big money replacement or poor value for money cheapie - neither compares.

Thanks Sami

[EwarWoo]

Farewell and thanks for everything. Please return when the time is right for you.

No matter what you'll always be an hero
