Obviously everyone is going to have a different opinion. But Hyypia at 46 and Ray Kennedy at 22 is wrong. Both have been absolutely class players and should at least be in the top 10. As for Rushie only making 11!

Thing is, about 25 of them should be in the top 10, if you know what I mean! Top class through out that list, as well as many top class players left out.

You need to have a think to yourself about the players who have played for Liverpool. It would be good result to get in the top 50.

The thing that strikes me about that list is that most of the players on there were big, tough, hard cases.

They wouldn't last 5 mins on the pitch nowadays.

Red Cards etc.

how about this one to put the cat amongst the pigeons.

No 45: Matt Busby - his career at Liverpool was cut short by the war.

I'm sure Steve McManaman deserves to be on that list

[Red_Polo]

Is it just me or is Callaghan not on there?

[Jennings]

Jeez...13 pages..just gimme the frikkin' list.

[Jennings]

Is it just me or is Callaghan not on there?

At 20 mate. Should be higher.

[Gingawaria]

Is it just me or is Callaghan not on there?

He's Number 20.

I'd have put Kenny higher personally

[Jennings]

hehe...I love this about Keegan (great player ana all that) ... "Had we known his parting gift was going to be Kenny Dalglish we would have pushed him out the door long before."

[Red_Polo]

At 20 mate. Should be higher.

Ah, was gonna say!

He's Number 20.

I'd have put Kenny higher personally

[Craig_H]

Beardsley should be much higher on that list.

[rezaeos]

Here's the list in reverse order. The only problem I have is Owen is put ahead of Beardsley, Ray Kennedy, Molby, Whelan and Nicole. I am sure Torres come in much higher if this poll is taken next year.

Lawrenson...

'One of the greats... except... except anything he can do, Alan Hansen, his partner on the pitch and colleague in the studio, can do better. That's across the board. Central defender? Hansen. Pundit? Hansen. Everything. If he grew a moustache, Hansen's would be neater, bushier and more attractive.'

I'd have put molby and clemence higher up the table and found a place for grobelaar too.
