Dion Dublin, Stuart Pearce and Branco were all at Melwood once according to this guy.
Some lad in our work used to come up with stupid ones because one of his mates was in the academy, said Stephen Glass was signing on a free transfer in 2002 and that we were "nailed on" to get Ballack after Gerrard went to Chelsea apparently this was already done but he ripped up his contract. I also remember the one about Zidane being seen at a city centre hotel.
Anyway, I've just seen Quaresma coming out of the Radisson........

Remember that one as well was Houllier suppose to have been godfather to one of his kids, and another one of his kids was supposed to have taken the entrance exam to Merchant Taylors school. Must have failed it thats why he went to Madrid instead.
