john aldridge leaving liverpool interview september 1989

[@orient1961]

Never understood Liverpool's decision to sell Aldo, but he went on to have a short and dramatic impact in La Liga, and an inspiring run with Tranmere. His goalscoring record is unbelievable. Hats off Sir !

[@Dead-Ball-Situation]

I was gutted for Aldridge when he was sold. Although Liverpool won the league in 1990 again, with Rush in good form, it just seemed so unfair. The Aldo, Beardsley, Barnes combo was a deadly one. I'm not sure that re-signing Rush improved them.

[@groovetraxxxgingerbreadman1282]

Well it certainly didn't weaken Liverpool when Rush was re-signed either.

[@That_Random_Bloke]

Aldo was treated appallingly. As he said in his book, it broke his heart

[@simonforrest2522]

Broke mine too.. Couldn't believe it

[@rico05202]

Aldo definitely deserved better looking back. I was a gutted 9 year old kid when he left.

[@Moss235]

Never agreed with this, to this day I always wondered what Kenny was thinking

[@simonforrest2522]

Me too... Not one to criticize King Kenny but this guy was a goal machine..Literally

[@sonofhibernia8872]

Aldo was great. Ireland were lucky to have him.

[@anthonydry5265]

He was absolutely gutted here. :/

[@ArmyofLove]

Very strong character from Aldridge to accept that move

[@patrickenright6094]

Something tells me that there's more to this than meets the eye.....

[@dwelly2342]

Barnes,beardsley,Aldridge was a better combination than rush......,rush wasn't the same when he came back....its the same why we did we get rid of beardsley

[@stuartjohnson7967]

D Welly : Graeme Souness ripped that Liverpool team apart to early letting go of McMahon, Houghton and Beardsley. He wanted to implement his own DNA on the team and it backfired big time and it took us 30 years to be CHAMPIONS AGAIN. COYR - YNWA. ♥️♥️♥️

[@treadstone1970]

Exactly. Ian Rush wasn't the same since he returned from his failed season at Juventus. It was a mistake to break up the strike force of Aldridge, Beardsley and Barnes which had been a work in progress. John Aldridge proved he was a more than adequate and successful replacement, being top goalscorer for the club in the previous two seasons.

[@Asaint100]

Strange decision to let him go

[@Stevieboy74]

Peter Beardsley is the answer. Can I still enter?!

[@Naren8797]

Rush and Alderidge and Beardsley upfront ...4~3~3 formation

[@simonforrest2522]

Exactly..Or ..Beardsley behind Rush & Aldo

[@simonforrest2522]

@@superlex611 Of course

[@alanlfc1892]

He left because Liverpool had Rush and Beardlsey playing up front and he was to good to be sitting on the bench

[@simonforrest2522]

Then you find a way to accommodate all 3

[@alanlfc1892]

​@Andro Santos And where were Houghton , McMahon and Whelan and the likes to play then?

[@niallharkey1979]

Shame he ever had to go.Definately more too it
