10. Ther rest of the lads, Beardsley, Thompson, Heighway, Neal, Torshack, Kennedy

None of todays players or players from the 90s make the list. They have not won enough silverware for the club or dominatred in world cups or european competitions. Fowler or Owen will struggle to get into top 50. Gerrard could make top 30.

Ray Houghton? Craig Johnstone, Steve Nicol and Sammy Lee were all better players in that position.

Dalglish is my fav player without a doubt although i still hold a grudge against him quitting the club to go to Blackburn

Hansen would have to be a our best all time player

tel, i can feel a bit of a backlash coming your way mate, dalglish did not quit liverpool to go to blackburn. he quit as the pressure was getting to great for him after hillsborough and it was starting to affect is health and his family life.

he left liverpool in february 1991 and only went to blackburn 8 months later.

tel read the following mate, you can see towards the end that he was under great strain

dont say you hold a grudge against him mate, he left for the good of his health after giving so much on and off the pitch

I remembered that day Dalglish quit Liverpool. We had just drew 4-4 against Neverton in the FA Cup, throwing away lead after lead.

That was in 1991, I was still in Uni at Norwich. It came as such a big shock but Dalglish later said that the pressure was getting unbearable. The team, while playing very well, showed odd frailities and conceding soft goals far too often.

I don't hold his resignation against him, I have too many fond memories of his time with Liverpool as both player and manager. Legend, simply awesome.

Sorry mate, but I was disappointed he went to Blackburn and still am.

I dont doubt for a second the impact and trauma of that day on him. But no matter what else is said, going to Blackburn had a lot to do with Jack's money.

the point i am trying to get accross to you tel is that you say he quit liverpool to go to blackburn. thats not the case.

he did not quit liverpool to go to any other team, he quit for health reasons. it was after a rest he decided to get back into management and only then did he go blackburn.

i hope its clear now

Right O. I'm disappointed he went to Blackburn 8 months after he quit. He was the single most important icon at our club because he won so much both as a player and as a manager. It felt very strange when he managed opposing teams like Blackburn and Newcastle against us.

He should have been a one club manager in England just like he was a one club player. If he'd gone off to manage a team on the continent, I would have felt a lot better about it

i think we were all dissapointed tel when he went to blackburn, he was offered time off by liverpool and then come back but he turned that down, he went and re charged his batteries and then got back into the game. by this time we had souness managing us so it was hard for him to return to us.

i cant say i ever held a grudge against him though, when you read what he went through i dont begrudge him anything.

the guy, was, is and always be a true legend mate, not just for his playing and his management, but also for his dignity and his willingness to be there for the families of the 96.
4 funerals in one day, try to imagine that and the effect it would have on him, after all he just a human with feelings and eventually it all started to get on top of him.

i for one will never forget the tears in his eyes when he left us. i will also never forget the look of joy on his face when we beat chelski in the semi, the way he was looking round and loving every minute of the atmosphere.

dont hold a grudge tel, maybe grudge is not the word wanted to use, maybe disapointed would have been a better word

Well said Peewee
Dignity beyond compare.

The best player i have actually seen on a LFC shirt is El Macca followed closely by John Barnes and Gerrard

Glofut wrote:I don't think Billy Liddel has been mentioned ... I know little about him as a player, but I do know he was regarded so highly within and beyond the Liverpool team that it became known as "Liddelpool".

I guess Liddell is forgotten as he is before most people's time, but from what I've read baout him he was pretty special. People of that era say he's the best LFC player ever.

This is taken from RAWK, the information courtesy of Wooltonian

"Nice to see Billy's name in a thread so long after him passing away.
Treasures like Liddell really are "one off's"
Consider the fact that out of Billy's £20 a week a fee was deducted because he rented a house off LFC.
When we were relegated Billy was offered an amazing deal to play in the new Bolivian League at ten times the salary.
He was also approached my lots of 1st Division sides with a much improved offer.
He turned them down because of his love for the club, love of the City and the people.
he was determined to get Liverpool back where they belonged.
If not for Liddell, Liverpool would have found themselves in the old Division 3 north.

Now put that into context of todays game and ask, if Liverpool were relegated, would the current crop turn down 10 times the wage to switch clubs ?

Like others I watched a BBC drama this week about the Munich disaster.
Everyone was waxing lyrical about Duncan Edwards.
My Father reckons Duncan was the finest all round player he has ever seen and was likely to become the best in the world if he progressed.
But as he finished the sentence a smile always comes to he lips and he finishes....
But we had Billy Liddell...

The only way Billy will be put into the shade is if Steven Gerrard continues to improve year on year and stays at the club for LIFE.
Then and only then will people say...
He was nearly as good as Billy"

My personal favourite player is Ian Rush, used to love watching him and Aldo bang the goals in but he wasn't the "best" The best were Dalglish, Barnes and Gerrard with honourary mention to Fowler
