John Aldridge - Liverpool Football Club 1987-1989

[@drewdrewski6278]

Little known fact; Aldridge also won the Ian Rush look-a-like contest 3 years running while at the club...

[@herrkiwi3110]

Always remember that cup final goal , great ball from Nicol , even better from Mcmahon and cool as you like finish from Aldridge , pure class.

[@mikeydun6443]

my favourite Liverpool team ever. Grew up watching this team. Barnes is my favourite player ever at Liverpool. What a team.what a squad actually.. Grobbelaar. Lawrenson. Nicol. Hansen.Staunton. Mcmahon. Whelan. Houghton. Beardsley. Aldridge. Barnes. Johnston. Molby. Gillespie. Venison. Great video thank you

[@brianoneill2776]

Couldn’t agree more pal and John Barnes is my all time favorite

[@bogeythedog163]

The only Liverpool team in history in my opinion.

[@gmain1977]

@@bogeythedog163 no Liverpool had great teams also before that team that won European cup with Kenny in team.

[@CamEraFitnessChannel]

They were insane players and it was a privilege to watch them. Even the likes of Venison, Abblett (RIP), Rosenthal, Hysen, Mike Marsh, Burrows, and a few others were great squad players. Miss those time I must admit. If only I had a time machine.

[@craig5346]

Spackman, Rob Jones, Paul Walsh etc too

[@EvoGoody]

Players like Aldridge are priceless. Not a gifted all round footballer but he had the ability to do the most difficult thing in football. How many players are there in the modern game who score as consistently as he did? He was still averaging better than one in two in his late thirties in the Championship for Tranmere. Has an incredible career record.

[@hotbot4219]

I think his gift was being in right place at right time and also his passion die hard attitude, and really likeable person

[@Brandon-nq7ys]

Could drink Gazza under the table...

[@bobmiller7502]

Took us on our trip to the moon. We will NEVER forget him at TRFC

[@Jesterandom]

Aldridge helped mend my broken heart when Rush left Liverpool...

[@celynjones4958]

Being an Oxford and Liverpool fan, Oh Johny Aldridge was my hero. Goal machine and top bloke. Got to see him play in person from 84 to 89 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mkrbrtsn1]

Lucky bastard! More than us Koppites got.

[@celynjones4958]

@@notdeadjustlazy Dean Saunders (eventually) after relegation without Aldo nor Ray Houghton, both to LFC. Kind of hard to replace without any real money and the Maxwells going belly up :)

[@celynjones4958]

@@notdeadjustlazy Right, I forgot that Deano also went to LFC. Well, I for one am very happy that the Yellow's were LFC's temporary feeder club ;-) Happy days

[@Red-Revolution708]

I have had a conversation with John Aldridge and I’m not just saying this he’s a very a nice humble man, what a great striker he was.

[@hotbot4219]

Absolutly amazing liverpool team

[@enlightenedone7141]

I honestly cant believe Aldo was moved on so quick, he was absolutely superb, I could never understand that. Him and Rushy were as deadly as anyone, always loved watching em, what a brilliant team too, Beardsley was seriously underrated

[@bogeythedog163]

Classy way of celebrating goals back then. Just a handshake.

[@latter-daysaintpud1432]

Very memorable player, great memories of his time at Anfield. Great player.

[@paulgreen8466]

Brings back memories of how gifted he was in front of goal

[@treadstone1970]

John Aldridge what a legend. Who needed Ian Rush during that magnificent 1987/88 season.

[@shanet5604]

Some of the best football ever and shame he missed that penalty in the final,football fan first and an MU fan to be noted,honest about talent !

[@stevemurray8257]

2:01 what a ball. I miss this era. Give me one of these games over the modern era any day.

[@jamesconnolly3988]

Should never have gotten rid of him. Dont get me wrong, rush was amazing, but the system worked with better with aldridge, barnes and beardsley.

[@franzherflek4116]

I agree

[@Crichton51]

one of the great goalscorers, everywhere he went

[@mjwchapman]

always in the right place at the right time

[@ryanmurphy7976]

His goal scoring record for every club he played for is outstanding

[@keithcooper7731]

I am lucky enough to go and meet with this Anfield LEGEND in December, I am really looking forward to that.

[@alanmansell9845]

Loved aldo !

[@jonpeley]

The first foreign player in the Real Sociedad modern era. Aldo was a genuine goal poacher, always in the right spot willing to score. True legend with us and I suppose there near the Merseyside.

[@XVRMEDIA]

Magnificent football from that Liverpool side. John Barnes - John Aldridge - Peter Berdsley probably the best attacking line in the history of the sport. Look at the pace of the game, look at the long passes, pure quality and entertainment. Today's game is a joke compared to what was played 30 years ago. Those who say Messi is the greatest player in history haven't seen John Barnes.

[@JohnnyC01]

The reason why they don't talk about Barnes is prabably because Liverpool was banned from european football that time and he couldn't show his class in the european cup.

[@1hamshank]

1st goal in that vid. Hillsborough 88. Superb. Limbs

[@murdoch691]

Aldo is a true anfield legend dispite his cup final penalty miss

[@hikingwiththeshackletons]

Great striker, I remember how devastated he must have been after cup final penalty miss in the 88 cup final.

[@Ironside-fz9vd]

True Newport County legend too!

[@chrisfallon9678]

Great days then for Liverpool .ynwa

[@FMTCH]

I liked players like Aldridge and McMahon who seemed to step down off the Kop put on a pair of boots and play for their idols

[@franzherflek4116]

McMahon was Everton mad

[@SekretSkwirral]

Aldo was very underated

[@brapmanbrap5188]

Legend a proper goalscorer

[@3storiesUp]

Nothing short of scandalous how Dalglish treated him at the end.

[@josephhanley668]

Aldridge liverpool legend Ynwa96

[@ramps2402]

I never understood why we got rid of him, I know rush was back with the club but aldo was dropped like a hot brick.

[@Tiroock19]

good player

[@zakariyyayusuf6208]

If only he'd scored the the 88 final goal.

[@roadwarrior8560]

Legend.

[@johndavid2204]

Aldo 💥Goal simply wonderful 🇦🇹

[@Am-gm4uy]

A true legend

[@liamdunphy7496]

Well known bellend aswell

[@bullwinkle1231]

Its a pity aldridge didnt play more games with ian rush ....as great as rush is the best of the best ..when he went juventus and liverpool bought beardsley..barnes and aldridge ...it fitted like a glove ....when rush came back yes the return of a legend but why they sold aldridge . I never could understand..?? ⚽️🏆✨

[@sbirrito]

what a irishman.

[@cameronstracey1304]

Lovely fella I work in David Lloyd and he goes the gym in there a genuinely nice lad, (plus he’s a Garston boy like me 😉)

[@driller007]

You should tweet him this

[@tyronedarlow5339]

Good in the air for is size

[@multitrackers3770]

Selling Aldridge was pure madness. I’d have sacked Dalglish for even suggesting such a stupid sale.

[@guinnessharvey4476]

When did players stop giving each other handshakes and start high fiving?:)

[@andrewmorley6369]

Why why why did Liverpool let him go? And why not resign him after Spain?

[@user-vr5pt3sg4c]

2 fantastic years dalglish dropped a bollock when he sold him

[@mkrbrtsn1]

why oh why did we ever sell Aldo??

[@harrier5154]

You can see why Liverpool ushered him off to a foreign country they couldn't afford him going to a top English club

[@izmalgogetter8207]

was it Fog by Radiohead?

He was useless at darts and table tennis though

What a player the way the treated him at the end disgraceful

[@hotbot4219]

Was room enough for both also and rush and beardsley rotate and let them fight for their place

[@imransuleman9739]

He shud of got a medal for the 1989/90 season
