Putting them into the legends threads so to do so, I have to bump them for the mods!

But nobody was going to post in here ever again (until maybe the day he passes) - not sure this place needs to be organised to that degree

But as you were, ignore me

I am sure we would find an excuse to post this!

Not everyone who has ever played for Liverpool is a true legend.

Don't corrupt the legends thread by including some of the dross.

Sammy Lee qualifies though, surely.

Sammy Lee qualifies though, surely.

He was part of a great team, but a bit part.

What about the tea ladies from the glory years, eh

[Buzzo]

Sammy Lee qualifies though, surely.

A scouser who played 197 games for the team, won the League 4 times (playing 35,40 and 42 matches, only played less in 85/86), The European Cup twice (started v Madrid and Roma in both finals) and the League Cup 4 times.

If that doesn’t get you in…?

The full thread title:

Legends and Former Players
Sub Forum to keep an eye on the goings on with ex players. Some good, some bad

[Angryred]

Maybe another forum for players & managers who were flops/disasters? I can imagine there will be a lot of consensus on those who were borderline.

[Mark79]

I think the current sub forum covers it.

Half of them just remain in the LFC forum anyway.

"Munich was Paisley’s masterpiece. It was also the night when the Anfield coaching staff played as much of a blinder as the men they sent onto the pitch.

Liverpool had no Phil Thompson or Alan Kennedy to resist the threat of Karl Heinz Rummenigge, the most powerful striker in Europe at the time, and within 10 minutes they had no Kenny Dalglish to spearhead their own attack.

ŠWithout an advantage from a goalless first leg at Anfield a fortnight earlier, the odds were stacked against the Reds.

Paisley deployed psychology and tactical nous to brilliant effect to coax the best out of his depleted resources.

German thoroughness played into Paisley’s hands in terms of motivating his players. Bayern left printed leaflets all around the Olympic Stadium advising supporters how to travel to Paris for the final.

If that smacked of arrogance, assistant manager Joe Fagan reinforced the point by pinning up a translation of a German newspaper interview with Bayern captain Paul Breitner on the dressing room wall.

Breitner was quoted as saying Liverpool had shown no intelligence in the first leg at Anfield. Matchwinner Ray Kennedy admitted afterwards that he could not be sure the translation was a faithful one – but it had the desired effect.

A Liverpool team has rarely been so fired up as they were that night, midfielder Graeme Souness later recalled.

Nonetheless, Paisley paid Breitner an unusual compliment. It was exceedingly rare for Liverpool to man-mark opposing players but Breitner, Bayern’s playmaker in chief, found a young Sammy Lee attached to him like a limpet for 90 minutes and hardly got a kick.

When Breitner spotted Lee in the dressing room corridor after the game he sportingly congratulated the youngster by saying: “well played” to which Lee replied: “Thank you Mr Breitner.”

Our Sammy

It's not just trophies that make the legends.

I bet Klopp would have loved that story being anti-Munich man!
