Southall obviously top bloke and the best keeper around at the time honourable mention for Peter Reid quality midfielder 

[Jennings]

I am gonna go Reidy over Big Nev. Really tough, but I love great centre mids.

So does Diego Maradona.

Nev

[Jimmy Hills Chin]

Duncan McKenzie. Not only was he a skilful fucker but could also jump over a car and throw a golf ball the length of goodison. Not terrific qualities to have as a footballer admittedly, but still ...

[mattyq]

Neil Pointon purely on his nickname Disa

Big Nev, Peter Reid and Sheedy were all quality

[Dr Nowt]

Honourable mention to Peter Beagrie for one of my favourite ever football stories.

 

3 Peter Beagrie (1991)

 

Vital ingredients Booze, a motorcycle, a plate glass window

 

While on Everton's 1991 pre-season tour of Spain, Beagrie went on a boozy night out following a game with Real Sociedad. In the early hours he flagged down a Spanish motorcyclist who gave him a lift home. Upon arriving at his hotel he couldn't wake the night porter, so Beagrie commandeered the bemused Spaniard's bike, rode it up the hotel steps and straight through a plate glass window. Only it was the wrong hotel. Beagrie required 50 stitches.

Reid or the binman - both top quality and sound fellas.

 

Could you imagine if someone posted a Favourite Liverpool player thread on GOT?!

I'll see your Mountfield 'tache and raise you a Paul Power lip caterpillar. Not long with the Ev, but an iconic look. Like he's staring into the abyss.

 

What do you expect playing for them?

Probably have a most hated one. It would probably get to about 300 pages in a weekend.

That was at least part of the motivation behind starting this one. I was interested to see which way it would go. Turns out we aren't largely a bunch of twats.

I can’t remember ever hating any Everton players, not even as a kid.

 

Well, maybe this fella, for about five minutes.

Can someone explain to me how Beardsley was ever sold to Everton. Was 1 million really that big a price back then? 

 

Abel Xavier would be my pick the crazy bastard

This prompted me to look up what he’s been doing in recent years, and my verdict is that losing the beard was a mistake.

Met him on the train just before the Kiev final, lovely bloke, didn't turn a hair when I said I was a Red, spoke very highly of Liverpool, just a decent man.

 

One of the few famous people I'm happy to share my birthday with (honourable mention to Liz Hurley obviously)!

As ever it was another mistake revolving around Souness ego during his disasterous stint as manager. Great player but a terrible manager for us.

Sure thing, I share mine with Road Dogg, Cher and John Stuart Mill.

ignoring the obvious LFC players that have crossed the divide, i'll go a Blues/Manc double with phenomenal man/boy Norman Whiteside. well earned the nickname Rambo too which is subsequently ironic.

 

immense talent and had to quit sadly due to injury at 26 (just looked it up). carrying that huge frame around obviously took it's toll knees wise from playing top level at such a young age.

 

 

[Baltar]

Didn't like him but this picture of Duncan Disorderly always makes me chuckle.

And for me scored one of the best cup final goals ,beating Southall at his far post.
