Your top 3 Liverpool players of all time

[Ed the Wool]

I got asked this in the pub on Sat night by a friends' wife who is a Liverpool fan. It took me by surprise a bit but it got me thinking of the criteria you'd use.

 

Anyway, I'd posted on here about Terry McDermott when I was growing up being my number 2 to Kenny. I'm sticking him in at 3. Suarez at 2. And Kenny at 1.

 

It's probably a bit like Beatles songs in that your favourite changes every day. Was hard leaving Rush out. Similarly Hansen, Alonso and Sami. Fowler.

 

Only a bit of fun but wondered who you'd go for.

 

 

 

 

 

[Swan Red]

Kenny Souness and another probably Gerrard today who at least gets a mention from me.

[Ant]

I have no idea to be honest, for pure nostalgia purposes I'm going for

 

1. Carra

2. Gerrard

3. Owen

 

And a close fourth is Gary Macca.

Your favourites or the three you think are the best (presumably in your time watching)?

[Maldini]

Never saw Kenny play so for me it's

 

1. Gerrard

2. Suarez

3. Barnes

[Des]

Dalglish

Barnes

Gerrard

[cymrococh]

Dalglish

Suarez

Gerrard

[Tosh]

My most "nostalgic" player is Ray Kennedy - and whenever I think of him I am transported back to my bedroom listening to UEFA cup matches on medium wave radio and picturing him slamming a left foot piledriver into the roof of the net late in a game. That image is so evocative to me (even though it was in my head) that Ray is sort of what hooked me into the club. Barnes pomp was during my uni years and unlike Sen I didn't arrange my Uni around football (like I had the choice of uni!!)

 

But beyond that, even picking the right criteria is tough for me!

Yeah your favourites in your time watching.

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

My favourites (chronologically) were Barnes, Fowler, Gerrard, Suarez.

If I were to pick three then I suppose Fowler would have to make way.

[Cobs]

Dalglish, Fowler, Gerrard

[Stevie H]

 

Yeah your favourites in your time watching.

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

Gerrard

Lambert

Flanagan

Jeffers

[Nerik]

Only caught the tail end of the Dalglish years so I'd probably go with:

 

 

Rush, Barnes, Gerrard (chronological order).

[£440,000]

Dalglish

Rush

And maybe Hansen

 

Before Kenny signed it would've been Keegan.

[Falconhoof]

Spackman

Houghton

Adam

[Cunny]

Dalglish

Souness

Barnes

[Murphman]

Dalglish

Suarez

Gerrard

 

 

You could put this three in any order depending on the time of day. An honourable mention for Souness too...

Players who played with Souness seem to rate him as the best.

 

Possibly out of fear that he knows where they live.

Litmanen?

 

Are you having a laugh?

I think Suarez peak is as good as I've seen. But he doesn't get in on the grounds of longevity.

 

So Kenny, Barnes, Gerrard. Too young for Souness.

[muleskinner]

Dalglish

Gerrard

Barnes

 

Suarez nearly in there, and Fowler.
