We weren't dominant. People forget that. He was there at the start of the dominance and, as you say, English sides were all over the place in Europe. The format had changed, the 3 and 5 foreigners rule was killing us. But it wasn't about Europe when he arrived. By the time he'd gone, we were just starting to find our feet, but he was the biggest reason we were good enough to make those inroads in the first place Quote:
Btw, before Bunks & MJ clothes-line the thread, I'm not criticising him, just simply comparing. Both are rightly club legends. |

how good rooney was has been partially obscured by how bad he has been. maybe people were more willing to forgive a thousand wasteful flicks of cantona because they knew he could have trapped the ball if he'd wanted to. also, eric's team only relied on him for inspiration. too many of rooney's teams have relied on him for £#%&!ing everything recently.

We'd gone for an eternity without winning the league then along came King Eric and ended the years of pain, of coming runners up to the Scousers. He was an incredible talent who I believe massively helped us become what we are today. Rooney who I really like has a not so nice side to him, I know Eric did also but Rooney's not so nice side erks the £#%&! out of his own fans at times, where Eric's annoyed the £#%&! out of opposition fans and the establishment. King Eric, pure Legend.
