That 100% could be a statue. And because of the size of the characters involved, cheap to make too! Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved it. Totally natural. For all the slagging LJ gets...he is has culminated a team and Club that fight as one. It's only a certain amount of the fan base that give up and look for change when things start going wrong instead of fighting and trying to support and turn things round... remember the 82 supporters? Would rather have him in charge than someone less attached. Regardless of performances you can't knock our work ethic and togetherness under LJ.

Victory Park Reds Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Different times but Bob Paisley was the original special one- ridiculous how many trophies he won in such a short space of time. I know things are hyped up these days but can’t remember to many interviews back in the day/ He seemed a very humble man who just got on with his job.

He was obviously a great player, and died tragically early, but one of the things that sticks in my mind was his high-pitched voice which seemed to be exaggerated whenever he was interviewed on MotD.

Nice try, but I was there In 82 and wouldn't bat an eyelid If he was no longer here. And for what It's worth I didn't have a problem with him as a player.
