    Aldridge, John

    JOHN ALDRIDGE 1986-89 by Chris Wood Date of Birth - 18/09/58 Position - Striker Games - 88 (15) Goals - 61 Club Hons (Lpool) - League Championship 1987/88, FA Cup 1988/89 Intnl Hons - 69 Eire Caps Other Clubs - Newport County, Oxford United, Real Sociedad, Tranmere Rovers A fervent Liverpool fan from a very early age, John must have thought his chance of playing for his boyhood heroes had passed him by as he plied his trade around the lower divisions with Newport County & Oxford United. But the imminent departure of Ian Rush to Juventus meant that Kenny Dalglish needed to strengthen his attacking force and John needed no second invitation when he finally made his 'dream move' to Anfield early in 1987 at the age of 28. All but 2 of his 10 appearances that season (1986-87) came as a substitute so it was not perhaps surprising that he only scored twice. But once Rush had moved to Italy, John took over the responsibility of leading the attack with devastating effect, scoring in each of the first NINE League matches and totalling 26 by the time the season was over and the championship had been safely secured. Normally so reliable from 12 yards, John sadly became the first player to miss a penalty in an F.A. cup final at Wembley when Liverpool were denied the Double by Wimbledon and he was immediately substituted; 12 months later in the same event he scored with his first touch against Everton to add an F.A. cup winners' medal to the championship won a year before and thereby complete his domestic set of honours (he had already won the League cup as an Oxford player in 1986). John added a further 21 League goals in 1988-89 but with Rush's return from Italy he became surplus to requirements at Anfield. With a move to Real Sociedad looming, he seemed unlikely to play for Liverpool again but was allowed to come off the bench when a penalty was awarded in the 9-0 massacre of Crystal Palace in September 1989, Peter Beardsley graciously making way for him. He tucked the spot-kick away with his usual efficiency and threw his shirt and boots into the crowd at the end of an emotional farewell appearance. John's goalscoring record wherever he has played speaks for itself and he managed 61 in all competitions for Liverpool from just 88 matches (with a further 14 appearances as substitute, many of them brief in his first few months at the club).

  2. At the end of the day i'll put on a brave face and say to my manc mate and blue noses that I know that we are Liverpool and we will fight to the end, but if our manager has got no bottle by playing dirk upfront alone and making opposition fans laugh (effectively playing a 4-6-0 formation) then fighting till the end rings hollow. If our manager is such a shithouse, how can we as fans lead the charge with such dire inspiration at the helm. To those who can't face the truth, draws against fulham, stoke x 2, west ham, hull as well as man u equalling our title haul is acceptable, and kuyt is a deadly marksman and I would rather be facing sniper shots from Jason Bourne than I would from the deadly dutch fast paced lethal eyed clogger.
