I just saw a video of a game I had totally forgot about, anybody else remember in 1997 we was beating Newcastle 3-0 they came back late on in the game and scored 3 past us and then god scored the winner? what a cracking game that was! Scary as hell mind when they scored the third, I remember it like yesterday now I've been reminded of it lol where has that time gone.

Have a good day eds/ reds.

{Ed001's Note - I was there mate. Dalglish was their manager and they never even got into our half until their first goal. It was an absolute hiding until Jamie 'stroller' Redknapp decided to stop doing anything and relaxed, allowing their midfield free rein in the final minutes. My aunt and her family who were giving me a lift home, left at 3-0 and had no idea what had happened when I got back to the car. They wouldn't believe me when I told them it ended 4-3, all they had heard was the crowd noise and the huge roar at the end! I only just saw our winner as I had put my head in my hands when they equalised and looked up just in time to see Fowler score.}

Ed001, what was your opinion of Jamie Redknapp? As a kid he was one of my favorite players. He could make any pass he wanted but i feel he never reached his full potential or wanted to!
I know he suffered with this knees and could of been wrong to have him as one of my fav players. But I was young and really didn't look at football the way i do now.
Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - hated him as a player, plentiful talent but never put in the effort needed to make even 50% of his ability. His idiotic tendency to stand on the centre back's toes for 90 minutes held us back for years. He would allow the opposition to close down the whole team because they could cut him and the centre backs out with one player as they were all within a couple of inches. If he had just moved forward a few yards, he would have been in a much more dangerous place to play passes from and opened up the field a bit more for the team to play out from the back. Instead he constantly took the ball, literally, off the centre back's toe time after time after time. One of the most pointless players ever to wear the shirt, as he did nothing for the team. When he did bother to put in some effort and did some of the dirty work, he was exceptional, except it only happened once or twice a season. Then he would stroll around for a few weeks until injury took him out for months. What a waste of talent.}

Oh wow Ed thanks for sharing mate, what a game to be at! When Barton scored I remember thinking here we go, you watch them score in the last minute! Luckily god came to the rescue!

{Ed001's Note - it was not quite at the level of the previous one like, but it was even more of a relief at the end because of that.}

Thanks for the reply, I was mislead as a kid then ha ha.
From reading all the posts and opinions of players the a common factor that you hear is how many players wasted or wasting their ability. I guess far to interested in money, fame and thinking they had made it. Oh and social media :)

{Ed001's Note - he was a nice guy, so most people gave him a pass, but he didn't deserve it as it was his own fault. If he had put effort into the donkey work, as well as wanting to look good with the passes, LFC would have won more.

I can cope with a player not having the most talent, what I hate is a player with talent who pisses it away. Some do it through off field activities of various kinds, Redknapp did it through attitude. He was more interested in looking good than being good.}

Lol yes another 4-3 and another blast from the past was it Collymore who scored the winner in extra time? or was it Fowler, I can't remember, I know it was great football leading upto the goal though Newcastle defenders didn't know where to look.

{Ed001's Note - it was the knob himself who scored, sadly God didn't get it. Now there is a player I could never do anything but detest in Collywobbles. Vile rat of a man on a good day.}

Ah yeah that's right I was hoping Fowler would get his hat trick.

I was there at both the 4-3 games. We totally out played them in both games, but the score made them some of the most exciting games I have ever been to.

With the fowler winner, I was walking out down the front so I could make a quick exist on the final whistle. I was just behind the goal and he rose like a salmon. Probably his best ever headed goal.

I used to sometimes travel to watch him play for the youth team, and I went to Forest to see him play in the world u18 final. He is the most naturally talented footballer I have seen. At 18 he was our best player in the first team.

Mark I agree he's one of my all time favourites mate.

Collymore is constantly sticking the boot into lfc and klopp, im starting to think he has an agenda. The worst yet was his recommendation to sign a retiring keeper (buffon) or joe hart to bring some experience and as he put it a top class keeper. Had me in stitches 😂.

He is a plank and should not be on tv or radio like joey Barton both arseholes.

Sign Buffon, that has made me laugh, I do love him as a player but he will retire at juve and then probably chill out for a bit. No chance he would want to spend a season at best in England where it is colder than Italy ;)

I was just looking at his playing career senior career of 23 years! actually insane! What a legend he is.

If Redknapp played with as much hunger and determination in his career, as he does talking utter dross and rubbish on Sly, he may have just managed to be a better player than the useless one Ed01 is describing.

Albey and Alistair, I saw Collymore's video saying that we should sign Buffon as well. As the great John W Henry once asked, "What are they smoking down there at Stan's home"
