Topic: Liverpool complete deal for Alex Manninger

[Yiannis]

Without Manninger we would not have won the double in 1998, he was just a kid then, saved some important pens in the cup run, and was immense in a run of 1-0 wins that took us to the title, including winning at old trafford, still holds the arsenal club record of 6 clean sheets in a row, and is one of a few goal keepers to win the premier league player of the month award.
Good luck on his retirement, I thought hed go on to become one of the best in the world when he broke through back then.

Didn't know he played part in that title win. Seaman must have been injured. I reckon the old trafford win was that Overmars goal.

Manninger always stood out with those rosy cheeks.

Great signing. Puts to bed the Casillas theory huh ?

Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread of the last year it'll be sad to let it drift

Have a great retirement Alex.

This isn't a dig (I met him before the Leicester game at Anfield this season and he was lovely) but when he was younger I always thought he looked a bit 'Hitler Youth'.

Smart move, good third choice GK for us.

You people posting 'smart move' etc, do know he's been here a year and is now retiring?
