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

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.

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.

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.
@JohnnyC015 жыл бұрын
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.
