Liverpool's Greatest Ever XI

[fah-q]

I don't really remember watching Clemence in goal for us, he was at Spurs when I started properly watching football.

I know what you mean about Alonso and to be honest I was thinking of Molby possibly but Xabi was just slightly more mobile (only slightly though).

[Neil Young]

Yep, I thought of Molby too and I agree, you can call it either way. I still think there must be someone else...

It's a pity there isn't room for Ray Kennedy.

---------------Reina
Nicol - Hansen - Sami - Kennedy
-Heighway - Gerrard - Souness
---------Barnes - Dalglish
------------Rush or Fowler

[Neil Young]

Souness

He's Alonso's partner in central midfield. You're losing the plot, kev.

[Fredo]

Can you draft a greatest XI formation Neil?

[Neil Young]

---------------Reina
Nicol - Hansen - Sami - Kennedy
-Heighway - Gerrard - Souness
---------Barnes - Dalglish
------------Rush or Fowler

Hmm, I suppose if you play three in midfield you could have Gerrard on the right and Kennedy (R) on the left.

I like Heighway but I wouldn't put him in ahead of Kennedy. I also remember him being more effective on the left but that might be wrong.

Fowler or Rush? There's only one answer.

[Neil Young]

EDIT

B*ll*cks, how did I end up back in this thread?

[CJ]

Grobbelaar was a legend. Thing I remember most from my first game at Anfield was signing 'Brucie, what's the score...' and him sticking fingers up behind his back (denoting the score obviously). He coul make the easiest save look like an amazing one. A nutter and crooked, but great.

amen. made amazing saves and some great cock ups. was the first keeper to read the game like a sweeper, would have excelled in today's game. the cock ups could have gone down to the flight of the ball these days. great character.

I thought about Liddell but he was a left winger, do we leave Barnes out? very difficult decision

Liddell was primarily LW but he also played centre-forward (that's striker to the youngsters) according to my older relatives and was apparently a great header of the ball. Unfortunately I was a few years too young to see him play for us. He was always at Anfield for home games in the 60s, so I saw him at games many times, and still had the same charisma and aura that the likes of Dalglish had years after he'd stopped playing
