lifted from lfc.tv "'Aldo', as he was nicknamed, proved a huge success, linking up with other new captures John Barnes and Peter Beardsley in Kenny Dalglish's re-shaped team for the 1987-88 season. He scored in every one of the first nine games of that unforgettable campaign and his 26 goals in 36 outings"
I wondered why I was'nt doing too well memory-wise Mick.
As you can tell I've never been much of a stats man Neil TBH. However and unlike your good self I'm going entirely from memory here, my feeling is that we actually signed Aldo half way through the season before and he spent most of his early days on the bench and just about goalless. If I'm wrong then fair enough.
