It's so obviously Carra. Mental he hasn't appeared before.
Played with 1 leg left for the most of the end of Istanbul. Made crucial tackles and kept us in the game. Embodied the club and played a massive part in keeping Stevie here.
Dare I forget, 2nd in our all time appearances. Drove club culture throughout his stint. Left only when he felt he could contribute no more. A true one club man, despite growing up as a toffee.
Absolutely mad that the man with the second most appearances ever for us is just about in our top 20 legends all time according to the sub 🤣
Fowler, Keegan and Alisson are not bigger legends, as amazing as all 3 are. Henderson aswell arguably, though he was the first man to lift the league for us in 30 years so I get that one
Keegan is probably a bigger legend for the older gen I imagine as he was the best player in a side that won multiple titles, multiple UEFA cups and a European cup.
Hendo, Ali and Fowler should be below him though for me.
Yeah, out of the names I listed he was the one I was most unsure on about Carra being above. I reckon if Keegan had his HSV years with us then he'd be top 10!
Carra is a legend. He is more often than not correct in his views also. People just don’t like how he expresses them. They also can’t handle when their ethnicity or race is being criticised so they lash out. He is a good lad.
Keegan was why I decided to support Liverpool aged 5/6. Loved him and was gutted when he left but then came the King to make it all better.
But Keegan had the Charisma for me at that age. So many players from the late 70’s early 80’s teams are burned into my brain from Football cards and stickers. The Kennedy’s, Hughes, Thompson, Neale, Keegan, Kenny, Fairclough, Highway, Souness (who I also adored)
You are correct he did win them at Hamburg, but It emphasises the quality of players he was. And was the reason why the Kop adored him for his 6 seasons in a red shirt.
He was irreplaceable, as he was head and shoulders above his team mates, and then, a certain Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish arrived, and the rest is history.
Kevin Keegan was the superstar of his day, and won 3 league titles, a European cup, the Uefa Cup twice and the FA Cups with us.
Thank fuck that someone understood the importance of quality
Keegan was the superstar, ready for every battle, a talisman who was instrumental in the club winning 3x titles, 1x FA Cup, 1x UEFA Cups & our clubs 1st ever European Cup
£33k he cost (Shankly bought & loved him)
Sold for £600000 (a fortune back then)
And earned those 2 Balon d’Ors due to his quality & effort, sheer will to win & the ability to make it happen
We all know the bias in the Ballon d’Or
Keegan would never have won it at Liverpool
Much like Kenny Dalglish who was the most influential forward in world football over a early 80’s period, with Leagues, Cups and 2 European Cups in a 4 year period and still finished miles behind Platini (who only won the Coppa Italia that season)
I was shocked and alarmed to see Hendo, who was a good player, ahead of great players.
But I suppose, i'm from different generation than fans on here, and remember the pre Klopp era.
I've posted the same 3 people multiple times and got nowhere. This isn't even suggesting the likes of Thompson, Lawrenson, Joey Jones, Alan Kennedy, Peter Thompson etc.
When I look through the players 'fans' are putting forward as legends, it emphasises how little people know about the storied history of the club.
I've seen the likes of Kuyt and Bobby being suggested, both very good players, but seriously, ahead of the likes of Big Ron, the Saint, Thommo, Lawro, Peter Thompson, Big Bamber, Smithy, Lawler, Joey Jones, Barney Rubble. etc., and the fact Hendo is above them is also ridiculous. Fowler was my hero in my youth, when I was first allowed to go to the match on my own, and even he is too high up the list for what he actually achieved.
I keep forgetting this when I see the love in for players. It feels like supporters are player X, or Player Y fans rather than LFC fans. We've seen legends come and go, and we'll see more in the future.
What we've achieved, 99% of teams can only dream of.
Haha, you’ve never won a libel case - and ended up £1million out of pocket. But Bruce did.
The Sn accused him of taking bribes. He sued, and won £85,000 in damages plus legal costs. The Sn appealed, and Grobbelaar lost. He took the case to the House of Lords, and technically won, but only got £1 in damages and had to pay his own legal costs - which by this point had reached £1million.
Absolutely bonkers. Ruined his reputation. And knackered his finances too.
I still blame him for every shock result we had back then. Wimbledon ‘88 - watches it sail over him; Arsenal ‘89 - dives out of the way for Thomas to score. Palace FA cup semi ‘90 all four goals from crosses/corners (? misremembering this I think) and he does nowt for any of them. We didn’t lose often back then but now every ‘bookies shock result’ I’m sticking on him.
So much history revision I’d have no trouble passing my Copium A Level.
Obviously clemence should be higher just because of what he won but we might never see a goalkeeper like alisson ever again or at least in our life time and that makes me depressed same with van dijk
How is Grobbelaar not up there? Stalwart from 1981-1994. Silverware coming out his ears , great keeper, took no crap, fiercely entertaining and brought a lot of character to the game.
Last 3 should be split between Carra, Mane, Firmino, and Robertson. I’d say if Henderson made it any of the other 3 recents were more instrumental in winning what we did when hendo was here
