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!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
