  1. Gary McAllister he's a legend anyway BUT should have graced our midfield for a lot longer. Should've been signed about eight years earlier than he was
  2. And Van Persil thinks his sending off was ridiculous! Anyone remember the Rangers game from about 15 years ago? The ref dropped his cards & Gascoigne picked them up for him & jokingly showed the ref a yellow card. The ref took them off him & booked Gascoigne for it!
  3. The guy was/is a medal magnet! Giggs may have just overtaken Phil Neal & Alan Hansen as the most decorated football of all time in the English league but if you take British football as a whole then no one can hold a candle to Kenny. And that's before you include his managerial record: Celtic Signed: April 1968 Debut: 25 September 1968 away v Hamilton Academicals (LC) Apps/Gls: 321/167 Club captain: 1975-1977 Scottish Championship: 1971/72; 1972/73; 1973/74; 1974/75; 1976/77 Scottish FA Cup: 1972; 1974; 1975; 1977 (runner up 1973) Scottish League Cup: 1975 (runner up 1972; 1973; 1974; 1976; 1977) Liverpool FC Signed: August 1977 £440k Debut: 13 August 1977 at Wembley Stadium v Man Utd (CS) App/Gls: 515/172 Championship: 1978/79; 1979/80; 1981/82; 1982/83; 1983/84; 1985/86 FA Cup: 1986 League Cup: 1981; 1982; 1983; 1984 (runner up 1978; 1987) European Cup: 1978; 1981; 1984 (runner up 1985) Super Cup: 1977 (runner up 1978 ) World Club Cup: (runner up 1981;1984) Charity Shield: 1977; 1979; 1980; 1982; 1986 (runner up 1983; 1984) Screen Sport Super Cup: 1986 Player Manager May 1985 – May 1990 Manager May 1990 - resigned February 1991 Championship: 1985/86; 1987/88; 1989/90 FA Cup: 1986; 1989 (runner up 1988 ) League Cup: (runner up 1987) Charity Shield: 1986; 1988; 1989; 1990 (runner up 1983; 1984) Screen Sport Super Cup: 1986 Scotland International 1971-1986 Debut: 10 November 1971 home v Belgium Caps: 102 (national record) [7 as captain] Goals: 30 (joint national record) Home International Champions: 1976; 1977 Blackburn Rovers Manager October 1991 – June 1995 Director of Football June 1995 – August 1996 Championship: 1995 Charity Shield: (runner up 1994) Division Two Play Off Winners: 1992 Newcastle United Manager January 1997 – August 1998 FA Cup: (runner up 1998 ) Celtic Director of Football June 1999 – June 2000 Caretaker Manager February – May 2000 Scottish League Cup: 2000 Personal Honours Football Writers’ Player of the Year: 1979 & 1983 PFA Player of the Year: 1983 Manager of the Year: 1986, 1988, 1990, 1995 Member of the British Empire: 1985 Freedom of the City of Glasgow: 1986 Football Writers’ Association Tribute Award: 1987 Inaugural Inductee to the English Football Hall of Fame: 2002 Inaugural Inductee to the Scottish Football Hall of Fame: 2004 Appeared in 3 world cup finals: 1974; 1978; 1982 Appeared in 34 domestic & European finals as a player a further 13 finals as a manager But even disragarding all of the above (!), for what he did in the aftermath of Hillsborough alone, he should be knighted
  4. Err...no he didn't. Kuyt played up top, just as he did yesterday. The only changes from the Stoke game for Chelsea were Maxi in for Aurelio & Carra for the Hairy Greek Anyway, Ngog...Don't see that he has a future here. Aside from a surprisngly composed finish v the Mancs last season (or was it the season before?, have never seen much to get excited about unfortunately.
  5. Did anyone esle watch last nights game on the Fox Sports stream on Sopcast? During half time they were plugging an exclusive interview with John Henry to be shown on Sunday in conjunction with the Chelsea game but they showed a little preview. Henry talking about Kenny - how they know this is a job he's wanted for a long time, how the owners know how much he is admired by the LFC fans & not just because he was our greatest player & a successful manager but also because he led the club through very difficult times. VERY interesting.
  6. He might sound like one, but Redknapp's not a cockney either, a southerner - yes, but not a Londoner. He was born in Barton-On-Sea, a tiny seaside town along the cost from Bournemouth (who his very cockney father was then playing for). Around 1976 he lived in America for a couple of years whilst Harry was at Seattle Sounders before his Dad moved back to Bournemouth to coach & eventually manage. Jamie actually grew up in Christchurch (next door to Bournemouth) & only left when he joined Liverpool in 1991. As far as I know, the first time he lived in London was when he signed for Spurs in 2002. I only know all this cos I was at both Junior & senior school with him - I was his left foot...just before John Barnes was :smile:
