Had Robbie Keane not fluffed every chance he got infront of goal in 08/09, he would have been the player we bought to improve us to win the title and we would have won the title yet instead he proved to be a piss poor aquisition and was sold on 6 months later.

Yossi Benayoun? Maybe not legendary but a fave... now just a journeyman.

Sami Hyypia is a legend in my everyones eyes but should have been paid more respect 2006 onwards and gone on to even greater achievements.

A confident Ryan Babel could have been anything.

Strange one Ziege.

I saw him at Boro and thought he was immense.

Think we paid 5 mill back in the day. I thought he would be immense for us.

He was pony. God knows why.



Easy answer he was a wing back-which is the position he played for Germany.He wasnt strong enough defensively to be a full back in a back four.Houlier didnt believe in a wing back system like Roy Evans.His signing defied logic with Houlier as Manager.

There was a guy in the 60's called Alun Evans-the first 100,000 teenager.He looked as if he would become a world beater until he got glassed in a nightclub which made him lose bounce and confidence.Rob Jones is a good shout too.

Sean Dundee...

seriously, Robbie Fowler. if he wasn't banished by Houllier, he probably would have stayed here throughout his career and stand among the greats like Kenny, Thompson, Hansen, et al.

In what world is Robbie Fowler not a Liverpool legend? IMO right up there

Fernando Torres was an absolute phenomenon. Fast, strong, good in the air, gifted with an expert technique, cool as fuck in front of goal. He was a legend in the making. The first Liverpool player since Robbie Fowler to score more than twenty league goals in one season. The first player since Roger Hunt to score eight successive league goals at Anfield. The first player since Jack Balmer to score successive hat-tricks at Anfield. The fastest Liverpool player ever to score fifty league goals. A player held in such esteem he was supported more vocally by The Kop than two local legends in Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard. He was simply amazing. Then he signed for Chelsea.

The End.

Babbel...? Don't be daft.

Anelka, although a complete shite, he could have been a legend had we signed him after the loan... 10 years ago that!

Brad Friedel, given the chance.

Harry Kewell... what happened to the man who played for Leeds?

Collymore could've been a legend if he wasn't such a bellend.

I was going to mention Stan. The guy had mental health issues etc. which I think has been well documented but for me, he was one of the most naturally talented players I have seen for along time. Great pace, strength, could shoot and score from any distance with either foot. Could take players on and beat them. Awesome talent.

Mascherano & Torres. At the time (07-09), the two outstanding players in their position in world football. I fucking loved them two.

Circumstances/agents/owners/wives conspired against them and they will never be remembered as more than a footnote in the clubs history. Shame.

Craig Johnston remains a legend for me.

After retiring, didnt he invent the 'Predator' footy boot or something?

Yes and also when you take an item from a hotel mini-bar and it's logged at reception, he invented that as well. Many a time I've cursed him for that one.

Your careers were very different at club level, but you actually came close to signing for Liverpool at first, didn't you?

Yes, in 1983 I had the opportunity to sign for Liverpool. We actually agreed a deal and I came over with my father to talk to Liverpool's representatives. We agreed a three-year contract and went away thinking it was all done. But two weeks later they came back saying they wanted to offer me the same package, but for four years because I was still young and needed time to develop. I was disappointed because although nothing had been signed, we had an agreement. I decided not to join them and people thought I was crazy. This 19-year-old was turning down the great Liverpool. It wasn't really like that though. I just felt an agreement is an agreement and people should stick to what they decide. After that, I had other offers and went on to join Juventus. That's football for you.

Few good shouts in here

Rob Jones- never saw a lot of him but looked a very good player

Heggem- Always had a soft spot for Vedgy, quick, good feet, not scared of getting a foot in, good positioning

Collymore- If he had his head screwed on he would have been Shearer's partner all through his England career and been fantastic for us. He really did have everything.

Torres- very, very sad. Immense during his time with us, dipped under Hodgson and pissed off.

Friedel- Never clicked for him here, but had a long career and gave the best goalkeeping display I have ever seen for Blackburn against Arsenal. Our goalkeeping position had a period of being very hit and miss. "Calamity" James period, Jerzy having his wobble after a great start, Westerveld had shaky periods, Kirkland couldnt stay fit

*edited to add Anelka. Horrifying we got Diouf instead, good god Ged.

Surprised at only the one two three mentions of Collymore.  The sheer amount of wasted talent (possibly at every club he played for).  I managed to attend many home (and a few away) games of  that 1995-96 season and the things he managed to pull off took your breath away at times.  Everytime I see footage of Stan in a red shirt I just think of what could have been, definitely should have been a LFC and England regular for years.

All in the mind, ey?  :rollseyes

Friedel did not have the ability or stature to be a Liverpool keeper during his time at Liverpool or, indeed, many years after. He's matured in his 30's and finally become a top keeper, but he was nowhere near whilst at Anfield.

Alonso is a legend IMO, of that era I think Masch and Torres could have joined him.

Going further back, as others have mentioned, McManaman (perhaps he is already?), Friedel and Anelka.

When I think about Luis Garcia, I've only got very happy memories. For that reason, I put him in the legend category. There's some players that, for whatever reason, just 'click' with fans. Frustrating little bastard though he could be, Luis Garcia was one of those.

He's 5 foot 7, He's football heaven.....

Ah, that 'managerial job interview disguised as a media interview' ;)

Everyone knows he backed out of the '83 deal, but Laudrup also nearly signed later for Kenny in '89 after leaving Juve (alongside Rushie) but eventually decided on Barcelona.

Dear Kenny,

please re-sign Sanz Luis Garcia for the club to be player-coach.  We all miss him terribly you see and he'll be good for a few goals a season. (Usually ghosting in at the far post or some stupendous 35 yard volley.) Go on, it worked for Bellamy.  ;D
