Is Kenny really a World Football great?

[Sugar Ape]

That's some world class trolling right there.

It's not even close to world class. It's typical trying to be controversial for the sake of it trolling which we have seen loads of times on here.

 

You need to be subtle to be a good troll.

[robslappa]

Mentaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllll

[WhiskeyJar]

I take it you never seen him play then?

[Boss]

Judas above Dalglish....my days.

"While we're on it, I think Jovanovic was the best wide player to play for this club." - Funnneee, 5 minutes from now

[Red Hot]

All as I will say is, If KD wasn't world class, LFC have never had a world class player.

[Caramac]

Was just discussing this with some lads at the truck dept the other day, and one of them said, "he was the olden day equivalent of Zlatan Ibrahimovc" and looking back at footage...he's fucking right.

 

Big fish, small pond, he cruised around at Celtic in their pomp, and then strolled around Anfield in ours. He achieved next to nothing with Scotland, for a forward, between 1979 and 1986 he delivered just 9 goals.

 

PFA player of the year just once, in 83. Even Gary Pallister won it in 92.

 

[Coro]

Fuck off, 'Funnneee' you stupid cunt.

George Best gets mentioned because he was a superb footballer, mate, he was breathtakingly good. I had a George Best video as a kid and all but wore it out. My dad rates Best as the best British player he has seen, that's good enough for me!

 

I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but the logic of that closing sentence is insane.

 

My dad rates Scientology as perfectly sane, and that's good enough for me.

 

My dad reckons Jupiter is made of cheese, that's good enough for me.

 

My dad rates murdering prostitutes as his favourite hobby, that's good enough for me.

[Dr Nowt]

Adrian Durham has so very much to learn.

[Cardie]

At least Code wouldn't come out with a shocker like that. I blame it on E-numbers and Sky Sports.

He gave it a fucking good go though between his Carroll a better goalscorer than Suarez and Veronica better than Tevez and others attempts.

Who the fuck is veronica. Voronin (though he played like a veronica sometimes.)

 

[Section_31]

Wibble

[fowler9]

best or 2nd best ever player for one of the biggest clubs in the world, of course he fucking is

[kalasoma]

I blame it on E

 

Fixed.

[xerxes]

By any measure, he is up there.

 

Any quibbles about his international showing are countered by his EC record, he competed with the best, and came out a winner .

[Major Tom]

Yeah, he is.

[PestiRed]

Ridiculous thread by someone who clearly never saw him play so I'm hijacking it with one of my favourite Kenny stories. Told by Souness on a video I used to own in the 80's, probably called King Kenny

 

According to Souness, when he was told he was to be sharing a room with Kenny he was pleased as he had heard that Kenny was a quiet, family-loving lad who would be easy to get on with. However, every night when he went to bed, Kenny was nowhere to be seen. He was out late every night and sneaking into the room well after midnight. This went on for a while until Souness mentioned it to another team-mate, expressing surprise that the quiet family man seemed to be out all the time. Souness reckons that it turns out that Kenny had seen that he had a hairdryer and, being a simple boy from Glasgow, had made certain assumptions. He had been hiding in the hotel bar, drinking orange juice, until he was certain that Souness would be asleep as he was worried that a man with a hairdryer might try it on with him.

He achieved next to nothing with Scotland

Who has achieved anything or ever will? Scotland is still Scotland whoevers in the team

I think to answer the question he has 3 European cups as a player so yeh but he wouldn't get into an all time team if that's what you mean

[BCM]

Ridiculous thread

[Ronnie Whelan]

Celtic were a huge club when Kenny was there and the Scottish league was of a high standard. The Liverpool team of the late 70's / early 80s was easily one of the greatest club sides of all time. I simply can't agree that he swam around in a small pond.

 

Scotland had great players but never did it when Kenny was in his pomp. The Irish and Welsh were a bit like that back then also. Having said that, I'd easily have fellas like Brady, Rushy and Kenny as candidates for a world 11 of their era, even if they never played in teams that did anything on the international scene.

[KMD7]

The Greatest player ever for one of the worlds biggest clubs, and possibly the most iconic.  

 

King Kenny.  

 

Funnneeee stop talking nonsense good lad

[Trucker Paddy]

Fuck off, 'Funnneee' you stupid cunt.

Spot on

[Pureblood]

And could he play...

[Etienne77]

Now then Paddy's a decent keeper but you couldn't say he was world class. According to Neil Warnock who knows his stuff.

Just like you Funnneee.
