People talk about having a weak team around him but i'd disagree with that. The squads in the 80s were solid...
Bailey Moran McGrath Whiteside Moses Hughes Stapleton And the flair was there as well... Muhren Wilkins Strachan Olsen Peter Barnes It was just that Liverpool and Everton were better in that period. |

When Robbo signed I had taken my nephew to try and indoctrinate him into life as a red.
Took him in the scoreboard paddock as was my normal place in those days, we made more noise than those Stretford enders cause we had a £#%&! off wooden floor that just reverberated, and we were next to the overspill if they dared to bring a lot of fans (not many did) Instead of staying up near the bar or sitting on the wall at the side of the "radio shack" I took him right down to the front of the scoreboard paddock. Do not recall if i knew, but most probably did, that an important signing was going to happen, pitchside. The little lad was swinging on the fence, as kids do, when the table was placed on the pitch, tried to stop him as (memories here, not youtube) edwards and ron came out the tunnel (centre of the south stand back then) followed by some arse in a brown suit. The whole circus happened four or five yards in front of us. Obviously had no idea what an influence that one man could become ( he'd broken his leg twice (?) in his career before signing for us, but he was to our generation what Eric was to the 90's fans. Remi Moses came as, to me, an afterthought. What a player that guy was. Paul Ince, you would have shit your pants in the presence of Remi. He would have destroyed you in a liverpool shirt, andhe was a respectful person. Bryan Robson paid his price tag off in two games. Everything else was a bonus If you were there you'll understand Got divorced i 87, didn't see the little nephew until 96. @#%&! became a shearer fan Serves them both right. |
