Queen Elizabeth II is a Hammer!

Ah yes Raquel Welch, didn`t her son marry Freddy Trueman`s daughter, she also starred in 1 million years BC, pretty much the same time that Chelsea won anything dating back from the 70`s. All changed now though eh? Still my tip to be champions.

Nightmare not having this 'edit' button anymore, here let me help ....

It kind of helps when Dickie Attenbrough is a lifelong fan (and refused to sell the all-important shares when that could have meant the end of the club), is the nearest team to central London (after Arsenal and Millwall) and is based just off the Kings Road (in Fulham not Chelsea) where co-incidentally my family came from (New)! And in the early 70's were the most glamorous club in the UK!

BTW perhaps we should rename Baa Baa "Grandfather Clock"

I was only 5 years old when Dalglish started managing Liverpool.

Out of interest, who would Arsenal's top 3 players be?

Would Henry and Bergkamp be in there?

[Arcadian]

It depends on how far you want to go back,and obviously forwards catch the eye more than defenders.Well before my time Alex James was acknowledged to be the best forward of his day, during this period Arsenal had 7 players in the England team, so how can you compare modern day footballers to the old timers. I am sure many Liverpool supporters would say Billy Liddel was their best player. Kenny Dalglish was only as good as the team around him, but he caught the eye.
In recent times I suppose Henry and Bergkamp shone through, but just before them was the famous back 4 who gave little away, goalkeepers, backs, playmakers and strikers all provide different skills, so very difficult to say who was the best player.

I am sure many Liverpool supporters would say Billy Liddel was their best player. Kenny Dalglish was only as good as the team around him, but he caught the eye.

Liddel came 6th on a recent vote called 100 Players Who Shook The Kop


1 Kenny Dalglish 1977-1991 Forward 172 Goals
2 Steven Gerrard 1998-present Midfield 122 Goals
3 Ian Rush 1980-1996 Forward 346 Goals
4 Robbie Fowler 1993-2007 Forward 177 Goals
5 John Barnes 1987-1997 Winger 110 Goals
6 Billy Liddell 1938-1960 Winger 229 Goals

All forwards, does anyone think their club`s best player ever/existing is a non forward?

[dtaai-maai]

Bobby Moore?
Peter Shilton?
and... erm...
oh come on, there must be loads!

[BaaBaa.]

Bobby Moore is probably the best shout, We'll have to see what WL thinks.

Liverpool's best Centreback was Hansen but we've had far to many good forwards for him to be in the top5.

[Super Joe]

Arsenal:
Pat Jennings
Tony Adams (ee-or)
Liam Brady

Spurs:
Bill Nic
Danny Blanchflower
Glenda Hoddle


Which British team can top this ???
'Best ever player to wear the Spurs kit' ......

[Super Joe]

And one for BaaBaa,
A player that just couldn't make the grade at the mighty Spurs and was rejected. Seemed good enough for Liverpool though. Doh!

Bloody hell, I'm glad you let Souness go as a player but I wished he'd managed your lot instead of us.

Was that Maradonna photo Ossie "Tottingham" Ardiles testimonial or something? (Was he even there long enough?)
