John Aldridge on his incredible rise from amateur football in Liverpool

[@brapmanbrap5188]

I grew up watching the Liverpool videos and Roger Hunt was brilliant to watch on it. The goals he scored were incredible.

I’m a lifelong Newport County fan remember him making his debut, he came just at a classic period for the club - promotion to the old third division, winning the Welsh Cup and narrowly going out of the European Cup Winners Cup in the quarterfinals. He’s quite rightly regarded as a County legend.

Aldo is bringing out the 8 year old in me now , watching The Cup Final v Dons when he missed the penalty and I cried for hours , from my couch presently in New York YNWA

Tough days when Aldo come through the ranks

Don't forget Jimmy Case played there too. Steve Heighway at Skelmersdale.

Still a Newport County legend to this day. Len Ashurst gave him a stepping stone to playing for Liverpool.

must have been tough for him, where the violin? playing for the top team for a hefty salary then paid off with a six figure sum when his services were no longer required, then goes on to earn more than when he was at Liverpool and living in Spain...it must have been so tough! heart bleeds.

A little bit jealous are we?
