Rival Players You Respect

I'm talking players we have battled with over the years as rivals. Everton, Forest, United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Leeds and the like..... 

 

Southall is the obvious one. I'll go as far as to say I fucking love the man. 

 

Cantona - Just an unreal player. I was lucky enough to have started going the game before he retired and watching him in the flesh you realise just how good he was. 

 

Henry - Maybe we didn't challenge them close enough to call them a 'rival' when he was at Arsenal but what a player. 

 

Drogba - Absolute thunder bastard but fucking hell you'd have him everyday of the week.

Rooney. Really complete striker. Could have slotted in this Liverpool really well. In his prime, ran his balls off, could make any pass, had vision, could score any goal. Loved him as a player, despite who he played for. Shame for him about how dumb he was.

 

Respect Wayne Rooney... Fucking hell.   Hope he never meets your granny for your sake or you might lose that respect.

Shearer.

Injury robbed him of at least two seasons at his pomp.

I saw him at Anfield and Ewood Park a few times and he was mustard at his best. A real striker and goal scorer.

At his best he was the complete centre forward and the best of his generation.

I remember him getting a really good reception from the Kop when he returned from injury.  I like stuff like that.

Quite a few Goons - Henry, Bergkamp, Viera, etc.

Nobody from Chelsea (apart from the ones who have played for us).

I liked a few some of theirs before the money.   Zola was fantastic and Vialli too. 

 

Almost a different club really.

Incredible striker.  260 Premier League goals despite the injuries and spending most of his career at a weak Newcastle team.

Shearer was a born winner and didn’t take shit from anyone. Shame we never got him at any stage as he was exactly what we were missing. Didn’t Houllier try and get him pretty late in his career? 

 

I'm just glad he wanted to play for Newcastle cause the alternative was Ferguson.

This. 

 

Always liked Steve Bruce as well, just because he seemed a good bloke as well as being a decent player.
