He deputised very well in place of Alan Hansen in the 88-89 season when we lost the championship on the very last game to Arsenal. During the later part of his Liverpool career, he plays as a protector of the defence, much like Didi but he is miles better.
Other notables are Graeme Souness, probably our best ever midfielder (Stevie has more drive but he should look at Souness' Liverpool career and pick up a thing or two), Alan Hansen (steal of the century for only 100,000 pounds), Ian Rush (goal scoring legend), Sammy Lee (tireless performer, and local lad if I am not mistaken), Emlyn Hughes (inspirational captain), Gary MacAllister (great player, a pity he did not come to Liverpool earlier), Terry Mac (masterful goal scorer from midfield), Kevin Keegan (great player but who would have thought that Kenny would so easily replace him?) and the original clown goalkeeper yet still a great one, Brucie (unlike the present clowns, Barthez and Lehmann, Brucie has amazing reflexes and attacks crosses like no other).
Whelan made my list on the strength of that curler into the MANCS goal during Milk cup final
Glory days of pin stripe strip
