Your favourite ever LFC right back

[Thants]

RiS & I were deliberating this morning who was the best RB after watching the German Ref Titslap video.

There seems to be a difference of opinion.

 

So here goes.

 

Phil Neal

Rob Jones

Markus Babbel

An Other (specify away)

[RED Tezza]

Steve Nicol.

 

Although could be argued he played pretty much every where but he was consistent as the day was long. a superb right back. and who could forget his hat trick against the BArcodes in 1988.

[Sangria]

Steve Nicol deserves to be up there, very reliable full back, he was quality.

 

Markus of course was quality and gutted his career was cut short, same goes for Rob Jones.

 

Neal was quality of course and like Nicol a Mr reliable.

[Thants]

STEVE NICOL!!! FUCK IT. DELETE THE THREAD. WHAT A DICK.

He'd even be mine!!

MODS please delete. Ah go on. Ah go on go on go on go on

 

Or let it become a steve nicol tribute thread.

 

[Lario]

Babbel was ace. Pity he was cut down in his prime.

 

We should show Johnson a few of his vids!

[scania94]

Phil Neal, any time!:telloff:

[Dicko]

CHRIS "FUCKING" LAWLER

Christ.

What does the man have to do to get a mention.

[RED Tezza]

Mind you what is it with us an Right Backs being a bit thick

 

Steve Nicol

Rob Jones

Jason McAteer

 

All had massive reputations of being a sandwich short of a picnic. and the butt of many a wind up by the other players.

 

although Stevie had to be the worst. Thants is right this should be a Steve Nicol Tribute thread.

I have to say, I'm impressed Thants could name three. ;)

 

I felt Chris Lawler was always underrated, even when he was playing, but Neal takes it for me. We were lucky to have two such consistent quality (and excellent penalty taking) full backs.

[The Dude Abides]

Heggem.

[jacksonc]

rob jones debut against man utd wasn't it? made me think we were going places again, sadly his body let him down! phil neal when he was playing but also the all time classic performance in "do i not like that" documentary

Haha fuck you Vest.

 

Lawler was before my time you old cunt.

[PaulMcC]

Rob Jones. Just ahead of Babbel.

 

Nicol was past it by the time i went to my first game.

[GJM]

'And it's Neal against Kneib....'. Phil Neal by a mile for me.

 

417 consecutive appearances between '76 and '83. 4 European Cup winners medals. I don't remember him ever missing a penalty kick (somebody will doubtless correct me on that one), 50 England caps.

 

Plus he played in a back 5 that conceded only 16 goals in a season. The finest Liverpool team ever, in my view.

 

Nicol was good. Jones also. But nobody surpasses Phil Neal.

[Unrighteous]

Babbel for me.

[FortressAnfield]

Chris Lawler. Excellent defender who also scored a lot of goals.

[Wig]

Jones for me. My era.

[Scott_M]

Jones. We bought him the season I got my first season ticket. He was ace.

[Best Believe It]

Jones or Babbel for me, with Jones probably shading it. I did love Vedgy though.

[njackets]

Babbel was fucking immense before he got cut down with that weird disease as good as any defender i've seen.

[gaz181]

I was too young to see Nicol in his prime but I'd have to choose him. Rob Jones came to the club when I was about 10 and quickly became my favourite player. Shame that injuries cut short his Liverpool career. Same for Babbel, even though he joined us fairly late in his career he was class.

[RedinSweden]

CHRIS "FUCKING" LAWLER

Christ.

What does the man have to do to get a mention.

 

To be fair, I was 3 when he left Liverpool and I am no spring chicken.

[RobbieOR]

Steve Finnan. Class act, he shrugged off about 3 right backs in his time here.

[stringvest]

Haha fuck you Vest.

 

Lawler was before my time you old cunt.

 

I'm still giggling here. I must stop or I'll wee myself, probably.

[RJ Fan club]

Neal was the better player and its seems at times under rated, but I'm a huge admirer of Rob Jones.

 

So Jones is my favourite for standing out at the back like a peanut amongst poo in the early 90's.
