50 Greatest Liverpool Players

[Darkon]

Of our current players I am a bit dissapointed Hyypia is not a bit higher on the list, surely demands a higher place than Hamann...

[BFG]

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

Especially considering Dudek is on there. He'll always be a hero for Istanbul but Bruce did all that and a lot lot more.

The author says himself that its a personal thing. The bloke obviously knows his stuff and to me it seems like he put players responsible for great moments very high in the list - hence Dudek.

Really, really enjoyed reading it. Cheers for the link

A girl who I work with's fella is really good friends with Gerry Byrne, he grew up with his old man so they've been quite close for a while. I've never heard of him before you know.

Just typed his name into the search box and didn't realise he was in the top 50 list of greatest LFC players ever. She has been going on at me for ages saying how she knows this ex LFC player and that he's an LFC legend and I've been ignoring her for ages.

Take it he must have been quite good then.

[RedReet]

Never heard of him? Nearly every ex pro from that era brings up the broken collar bone incident in the FA cup final.

[Dessy]

What!? No Sean Dundee!!!!!

amazing that they didnt allow subs back then

[Bender]

John Barnes ......Genius

[wavydavy]

Sammy Lee, Joey Jones WTF? My era but even still!

[red g]

How many havent won a premiership out of that 50, I am interested?

Is it only the new lot and Busby? sure there will be others but I aint trawling through Wiki


50 Fernando Torres
46 Sami Hyypia
45 Matt Busby ( WHy dont we call him Sir? )
42 Jerzy Dudek
26 Dietmar Hamann
19 Michael Owen
14 Robbie Fowler
9 Jamie Carragher
2 Steven Gerrard

Those for sure .......any others?

[5europeancups]

very surprised that Joey Jones is rated so highly

I think that nostalgia clouds decision there.

Plus Ray Clemence should be in the top 10

[Tatterdemalion]

there's no way owen should be that high.

[3dlobster]

In order of shock.
Rob Jones, made the list?
Rush, not in the top 5??
Carra, ahead of Rush???
Phil Neal, at 37??????...8 league titles, 4 European cups, (about)8 years without missing a game, our most succesful(greatest) player.

Can't argue with No. 1.

[michelmas]

26 Dietmar Hamann
?? Pepe Reina
Hmm!!!

[Charly]

I guess if Rob Jones is on there, Markus Babel should be there too, because in his one full season, he was amazing.... Curse of the right back. Losing Arbeloa should be added to that list.

Carragher is probably a bit too high. HE spent too many years as a full back who just couldnt get forward. It as only when he moved to centreback alongside Sami, that he shone as a really top class player. Now Sami has gone, he doesnt look quite the same player. PErhaps Sami should be higher.

Didi... Leverkusen... Houllier, what were you thinking?
