Single all time Reds Player

[Bjornebye]

Who is you absolute all time favourite Reds player? 

 

Its a tough choice and I struggled between about 4 then wished I had been old enough to see Dalglish/Barnes/Hansen etc and their peak. 

 

Mine is God himself. Robbie Fowler. 

 

 

For a young fan like I was in the 90’s, he had it all. Scored a shit load of goals, had controversy (I remember being in the main stand when he sniffed the line and thinking he was doing some sort of caterpillar crawl until I saw MOTD that night) , The doCKers protest but also the sportsmanship for trying to stop the ref giving the penalty. (even though he was a bit of a daft cunt for doing it!)

 

 A good mate of mine from schools auntie Kerry married him (still his wife) and I babysat his eldest daughter Madison with my mate years ago. Absolute boss fella to meet and the day he re-signed for us I remember reading it on BBC sport and actually had a tear in my eye.

 

 Best finisher i’ve ever seen and at his peak was as good a striker as any in world football. I’m not arsed he didn’t get the england acclaim because he got ours. People don’t get the nickname god in Liverpool lightly....

possibly the most naturally talented player we've ever had at the club.

Gerrard, only reason this club won anything for over a decade.

Been thinking about this a lot recently now that I rate Suarez as the best we've ever had. However, the question is favourite and mine is still - just about - Kenny. He's the greatest Red of all time. Carra runs him a very close second though and Robbie is right up there too.

[TheHowieLama]

He's big and he's fackin hard.

[Jairzinho]

He's big and he's fackin hard.

 

Neil Ruddock?

[ZonkoVille77]

Gerrard for me.

[kemskem]

I've been mulling it over and it was between Gerrard and Fowler, and I've gone for Gerrard for his all round brilliance. You get a bit of everything and he just embodied the spirit of all those times when we were trying to get back to the top. Awesome player.

Rush

Really hard, tempted to say Fowler but on balance it's probably big Sami.

[liverpoolsno9]

Absolutely love Sami, would love Brendan to find him a coaching job after his sacking last week. However, my idol is Barnesy. Been lucky to spend time with him, 1 on 1. Didn't disappoint, just a really lovely genuine fella.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Gerrard. Fowler. Carra.

Another good thing about Molby is that his name was supposed to be pronounced 'Molboo'.

 

Remember him talking once about how he was in the clink and said they were 'a great bunch of lads'. Said one of the cons could so a boss impression of him and when people used to shout up from the lower landing he'd answer back from his cell and people would think it was Molby, Molby said he'd be in stitches listening to it.

My favourite

Still the King for me. He took over from Kevin Keegan, who was a great and underrated (now)player and was an improvement. Not only that but he played at the top level for over 10 years and was the inspiration behind our greatest period of success. If Suarez stays for a couple more years playing at his current level he may take over.

[Tj hooker]

Still Kenny for me for his goals sublime skills & of course who can forget the way he lead the club after Hillsborough

[Jairzinho]

I'd love to have seen Barnes in pomp. Was only 1 when we signed him though.

[RedRazor]

For me the player who gets 10 out of 10 for every attribute, passing, pace, heading, vision, technique, shooting, scoring, attitude - everything. The most complete footballer I have seen in a Liverpool shirt (or any other shirt for that matter). As near to the perfect footballer as you can get.

Mr John Barnes. Thought he was majestic.

[etho]

Steven Gerrard.

Keegan, Ray Kennedy, Dalglish, Gerrard.

 

But I'll go for Barnes, because I saw him live.

 

And it was breathtaking.

[xerxes]

Gerrard edges it for me for his inspirational value. Digger and KK were fine footballers, but Gerrard has the capacity to change games, influence the whole team and the crowd.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I always find picking a favourite anything tough, but all the names listed thus far probably cover my feelings.

 

I never got the chance to watch Barnes live, in his pomp, but I idolised him as a kid watching on TV. before I learned anything about tactics and all that bollocks, I just figured with him and Rush in the side we could smash anyone.

 

A bit out of left-field but I have always had a soft spot for MacAllister. I liked him as a player, thought his time had passed, but he rolled back the years in many a performance, and was the perfect figure to have amongst some of the youngsters, particularly on the big occasions.

 

Similar to my appreciation of Hyppia, he had an assured air about himself, something Gerrard is starting to exude too which is fantastic to see.

The King followed closely (and I mean a gnat's dick behind) by John Barnes
