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.

not only that he looked after his sister in between designing football boots.

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!

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
