Had the honour of visiting his memorial with my lad.
Very nostalgic day out, spoiled later on by a fucking beach ball

āso many who reached the pinnacle of achievementā. So who are the others?
Glenbuck was a tiny mining village which had a Junior League side called the Cherrypickers. They were noted for having produced at least one professional footballer for each year of their existence including several internationals.

Do you know when that was from? It almost feels like passing the baton. Kenny was rarely a captain so it must narrow it down.
May 26th 1979 - Think it was Home Internationals

Hamann is just a bit of a wanker who says things for attention.

I know lots of people wont even consider him an ex player, but Iāve just been reading about the turn Lambert has taken since retiring and it turns out heās now an absolute loon. Did anyone else know this about him? I assume itās more common knowledge back in the UK as his nonsense is likely fodder for the red tops

I donāt read the papers but Iāve seen some of what heās spouted, yes. Makes me even more ashamed that he played for Liverpool than I was based purely on his playing ability.
Or, maybe not. Itās close.

only read about it a couple of weeks ago. Someone here or on twitter posted a video of his. Really sad to see.

I liked him as a player and saw the logic in picking him up. He was physically limited but was a smart and talented player. As a supplement to the fast 2014 side he would have been an effective option, used as a point person for the other faster attackers to run off and in behind as he linked in play. It turns out the team he joined was a different one, one that lost a lot of pace. That meant when he played his own limitations were exacerbated. The addition of Mario and their complete incompatibility made it even harder to find a solution that included him. In the end when he played it was as almost a lone target man with a void of support, which was surely not the plan.
But it does sound like the depression he fell into with the way his end of career went was the opening for this turn heās now taken. Itās a common story for these Q types. It fills a hole they have developed and need something to fill it

He played like heād just worked 12 hours hard labour and gone to the pub for a few stiff ones before getting to Anfield. I donāt care about the idiot heās turned into later in life, I just found it embarassing that he ever turned out for us in the first place.

Gone down the Le Tiss route.
All very lovely he got to play for his boyhood club but frankly Ings was several times the player he was.
He probably would have been a better player had we got Lambert in earlier in his career. But he wasnāt a player Liverpool should have signed in the first place. Credit to him for resurrecting his career after being released by Liverpool.
Signing the likes of him , Benteke and Balotelli was the starting of the end for Bodgers. I suspect Gerrard had quite a lot to do with this signing as well. Lambert and Gerrard probably played together in their youth days and sentimentality doesnāt work in football. We saw that sentimentality with Gerrard when he took over at Aston Villa and immediately worked to get Coutinho and Ings there. Also with him taking over at Al-whatever , He then wanted his mate Henderson there. Sorta like making the old boys club. This doesnāt cut it in modern sports now.

I donāt think Coutinho was a bad loan move for them but he seemed to drop once he signed properly.
Lads gone and to be honest should be a warning to most but they will still do it.
I was against that signing.
He was the typical lazy āheās a Liverpool fan, experienced, cheap and scored goalsā transfer.
Not good enough for us, never thought any different.
