It's just strange how you manage to squeeze Dalglish on the bench and have Keegan in the side. But outside of that no other Liverpool players. How were we so successful? It wasnt with foreigners like in todays game.

Is that Wright as in Ian Wright on the bench? In front of Rush or Dean? Gary ******* Neville? Lol, talk about picking the off man out.

Why is it strange?

Kevin Keegan - 2x European player of the Year in a decade that included legendary players like Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Rummenigge, Muller etc

And I said Dalglish wouldn't make the starting 11. Never said he wouldn't make the team.

No, I'm not one eyed and delusional in my team support like you. It's Billy Wright, the guy that played 105 times for England, 90 of those as captain.

Liverpool were successful because they had a good team with some outstanding players.

Edit - and Gary Neville is one of the best right backs ever produced for a country that doesn't generally have many good right backs.

I could have said Lee Dixon but im not an idiot.

Oh and I never said Keegan shouldnt start or be in the side. He was awesome. I was mentioning him as those were the only two Liverpool players you could muster up despite their being cases for so many great players.

No one's arguing Bale shouldn't be on the list because he isn't British...

Seriously? You're putting him in the all time greats against those names based on one season?
Well, it's two seasons now pal.

Best put him on the wing I think.

Good to see the Keegan love - England has only had 4 winners of the European Footballer of the Year (now the Ballon d'Or) and Keegan has 2 of them to his name. Absolute champion player at his peak.

Shearer up front for me (excuse my Geordie bias) with Sir Bobby Robson as manager! :D
