Dig it out and have a butchers.

I was shocked to find that emlyn hughes and michael owen had almost the same skill set.
their pace and agility was outstanding.

if Owen come out and said that he based all his football on emlyn hughes i would not be shocked, its not often that you can look at old videas and see a player that would still fit into our team today and still be the best but when you look at emlyn hughes thats what you get.

Its a shasme that Owen left when he did as i feel that he could have been even a better player than he ended up (lets hope he dont turn out to be one now he is with Man U ) thats one thing emlyn hughes woul;d never have done.

  enough said mate,couldn't agree more. i watched a dvd the other night i bought from the club shop ages ago called Liverpool fc Greatest goals ever -mate i tell you if you have not seen it please do so, as the first goals you see are Emlyn hughes & his goal celebration & sheer delight at scoring are a total joy to watch, one of them was his goal against the toffee's which speaks for itself.

but his Love & enthusiasm for LFC will live long in the memory.

just to say mate that if i'm jealous of anyone to date it has to be my brother,as he met Emlyn whilst on holiday in the caribean, barbados to be exact. it was in 1999 an my brother was in the same hotel as Emlyn, cut along story short- my brother saw him an his wife, kids aswell along with what my brother discovered later on was a type of security guard.  who were playing cards by the poolside.

my brother was saying to his wife, i don't believe it -it's Emlyn Hughes etc etc, she said to my brother don't disturb him he's on holiday- my brother replied p1ss off my brother (me) will neer forgive me if i don't go over an say hello etc. by which time Emlyn & his security guard had already taken bets as to how long it would be till my brother went over to him    he had a great conversation with Emlyn & family etc.

he had a couple of drinks with Emlyn got his autograph for me personalised on a business card -which said  to martin best wishes Emlyn hughes, i will treasure that forever!

my brother says to this day what an honour & privalidge it was to meet him,he was such a warm welcolming person,a great laugh & his only regret was he didn't get a photo with him.

like you say mate, Emlyn hughes total Legend R.I.P
