He was never a midfield player in a million years.
Any half decent games he had were when he played at the back and all the game was in front of him.
Lacked the vision required to play midfield

Mick Walsh was signed on the basis he scored the BBC goal of the
He had never actually played against Everton.
Bought as McKenzies replacement, which was never going to go down well with the fans.
Sold later in his first season to QPR in swap deal for Peter Eastoe, who proved to be a far better stiker.

Er...if it was on the basis of one decent performance, why did we wait 18 months to sign him from Leeds United ? Don't forget (if he was that bad) that Liverpool competed with us to sign him...and he chose us. Bit like Howard Kendall that.

Keeper is Graeme Smith who was in the same Quarry Bank school team as "Big Joe" Royle.
To be fair he did well with Norwich... didn't they beat Bayern away?Goss winner if my memory serves me well.

As much as it irks me on the goal that Whiteside scored against the Worlds Best Keeper ,it had to be something special.

Did you love the part about how instead of flying back to London like us fans did, they flew back from Rotterdam to Liverpool to go on the lash when we were 48 hours away from making history, on 3 fronts.
Then
Howard Way alright.
Watched it once,wont be watching again.
A team who were on the threshold of being:
The first team on Merseyside to win the English double.
plus the first team in history to win the double an a European trophy in the same season
Nothing to do with Whiteside or the
And to make matters worse,the other lot across the park did it12 months late

I get where you are coming from but with all due respect this thread is one of the few on this site that is uplifting. We can be masochistic and occasionally post pictures of our many semi final defeats at Villa park, Old Trafford, Maine rd, Elland rd.....but overall its a jolly thread reminding that we were good in the old days.
Its the thread i turn to after another recent defeat to cheer me up
So without wishing to be dictatorial can we possibly keep this thread jolly. There isnt too much else to be jolly about at my age.
Thanking you for listening

Talking of players we signed here is the famous free kick by Roger Ernie Hunt with Willie Carr touching the ball twice with his back flip with his ankles we signed him shortly after this he never lasted long nor did that free kick as it was banned as the free kick taker was deemed to be touching the ball twice....- the chant of Ernie Ernie used to ring out from the Gladys street -
to ring out when he did score though.......
