George Best..........simply the best

Barry John......a Welsh Wizard

Mike Gibson........likewise, but Irish

John McEnroe........made tennis fun to watch

the Creator.....if there is one............for placing us on a beautiful planet and still allow us to enjoy other people earning much more money than we do for kicking, catching and hitting balls of various shapes and not think twice about it!

Not really being into sport that much other than foorball. My team being Liverpool all my choices are Liverpool related, sorry. In no particular order.


Bill Shankley - I had the pleasure to meet the great man when I was a youngster.

Craig Johnston - Who, I hear you ask, the man who walked away from football to go back to Australia to look after his very ill sister. Loved him!

Jamie Carragher - Grit and determination, not the greatest footballer, and he knows it.

Bob Paisley - A very humble man. He conquered Rome twice, the first time was in a tank. 3 European Cups, what a guy!

Ian Rush/King Kenny - Tough one.

Declan - What a great line.

I think you summed up sport - if there is a ball involved its enjoyable to watch - Ball sports are king.

Annasfield - a distinct Liverpool feel to you top 5. If you remembered Kenny Dalglish (who's best years were ate celtic park?) surely you remember the person he was signed to replace: King Kevin Keegan, twice european player of the year, surely better than dalglish?

Apart from the fact that I'm an 80's child, King Kenny did far more for Liverpool than Keegan. Still does a lot for the city and club these days.

Kenny did his apprenticeship north of the border - after Shankly sent him back north after an Anfield trial in the sixties... but cometh the hour cometh the man, the Prince of Scotland took his new throne as King of the Kop ;-)

Ha - yes matthew123 this is true - but when 15 year old Dalglish tried out for Liverpool he was not good enough - as Bill Shankly recognised - but he was not "farmed out" as you say, as this suggests Liverpool had some hold over the youngster - this was not the case - they rejected him.

Jock Stein took the player on - but he was initially not good enough for celtic either (obvious, being a better team than Liverpool then):


"It took Dalglish three years to establish himself in the first team. At that time Celtic were not only top dogs in Glasgow, thay were top dogs in Europe, having become the first British team to win the European Cup, beating the mighty Inter Milan"


Jock Stein made him the player he was to become - as Shankly recognised Stein's talents when Celtic first won the European Cup he said:


Jock - "you are immortal":

Shankley looked up to Stein - any player that Jock had, liverpool wanted - and hence in 1977 Liverpool bought the finished article.

For all Liverpool Fans 1 minute 41 seconds on You Tube when being on The Liverpool Spion Kop was fantastic(like The "Jungle" at Celtic Park!)..put the following into the You Tube Search and watch intil the end Guys..


Liverpool FC - The Kop Crowd....

Still can be fantastic TLS - especially during a derby or an European night (you need loyalty for these games). Unfortuantely Anfield is full of day trippers now who go to the match only to take photos of Gerrard taking a corner and say they've been.


No interest in singing the songs or willing on the team. Shame really :'(


Annnyway, back on topic......

Tell me about it!....and ManU the same.


What did you think of the sway of the crowd in 5 different directions at once!

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
